My question is: do you think it's neccessary to use a metronome in a recording where its simply just acoustic guitar and then singing? I'm trying for the first time and it's so much easier than having that stupid click in my ears... the only problem is I have pauses in my songs... I'd like some opinions on your usage of a metronome in your recordings. I think i prefer to just 'feel' the timing of the song rather than count it out...
If you have trouble playing/singing to the metro, try setting the
thing for double speed and count it in 8th notes.
ie, if the song is 110bpm for quarter notes, set the beast on
220bpm and count each click as an 8th note.
If you have a deliberate pause, fermata etc in the song, just
pause while it clicks away and pick it back up several beats
later. Then, as another poster suggested, trim out the dead
space later in your software.
