Yeah, what he said. |
How do I know it makes it better. It's bass guitar and it needs to lock to the drums and possibly follow the guitar, and if he messes up a part, and I can't copy and paste it from somewhere, there is no alternate take, what is point of leaving a mistake there?
Further, It'll take more time to call him have him come in and sit through bad takes, then the 10 minutes it'll take to complete.
I will go back to the auto-tune, and drum editing comment.....these days there is little remnants of a "band" when we record. So much is done, and so much is changed that to me it really isn't the same band once we are done mixing. They have undergone in some cases Major surgery. Therefore re-tracking a whole or part of a song is only an extension of this. It's not re-writing a song, or changing his parts that he came up with, merely getting his playing tight enough so that when someone hears the final product, they like it.
