I'm embarrassed to ask....
I've been recording my band for several years now, but always "Live" on a Tascam DP24. I mix at home with Sonar. This week, for the 1st time, we'll be individually multi-tracking straight to Sonar.
My question is how do you keep track of all the different versions of each track? When we've recorded in the past, we've done it as a group and either trashed or kept the entire take. If we wanted to keep a take but try again, we'd just start a new session. This week I'll be recording everyone individually. If, for example, I want to keep 4 versions of the drum kit (4 mics), would I keep 16 tracks? How do you keep track of which tracks are keepers? Do you just take copious notes?
Thanks!!
