Primarily I write and record as a singer/guitarist.
I sing best while playing acoustic guitar, but I play the guitar better when not singing. So I need to go back and comp/correct both parts.
I record voice and guitar simultaneously onto separate tracks using two mics, but of course, each mic hears both sources, and that makes it impossible to comp/correct segments of either the voice or the guitar track. So I try recording the guitar part first and sing later with the guitar track, but then my vocal performance lacks intensity and immediacy.
Is there some better way of approaching this? Or is it just impossible and my only recourse is to learn to sing when not playing guitar?
Thanks
