Also don"t record a track while listening to another track on your monitors , Use Headphones when Tracking use monitors when Monitoring , you don"t want what is coming out of the monitors to be recorded through the mic ....

Cheers

Recording is the single most important use of your monitors if you can swing the set up. The monitors and console should be isolated from the instrument as much as possible so the recording engineer can listen and really dial the sound in. You can't dial in a sound on headphones.

I'm not saying that doesn't apply to home recording, but I think it applies more to "pro" recording, where you have a separate listening room. Most of us, or at least speaking for myself, will almost always use headphones while recording (not talking about dialing in a sound. I mean laying down an actual track.)

Ditto to that. I'd never record a track with the stuff I'm tracking to coming out of the monitors, unless I was going for a particular bleed type effect.
