Two things before I start:
After much research I still can't determine what would be a more productive method of tracking. Here is what I think would work:
Would that be a good way to do it, or would I be creating more problems?
Or should I simply track everything dry, and leave the EQ and other processing for the mixing phase?
FYI, I prefer not to add any processing on the way in. I like recording dry. My question is whether to apply any processing to each individual track, or do it while mixing?
- If this has been discussed before, please link me to the thread.
- I realize what I'm about to ask is subjective and has many possible answers, but I'm just trying to get a basic idea of how to begin.
After much research I still can't determine what would be a more productive method of tracking. Here is what I think would work:
- Record a track.
- Apply EQ, compression, whatever, to make that track sound reasonably good (or at least better than completely dry).
- Record another track.
- Apply EQ, etc., as before.
- Rinse & Repeat
