the 2nd part makes more sense - it's the same sort of thing I descibred above. |
how is it pointless? i always get my sounds the way i want them and print them when i track. i dont use the gates to prevent bleed through i use them to control overtones and ring out. its the same purpose of using them in a live situation. the risk of it ruining a take isnt even plausible. i know many an engineer who do it this way.
