I hear ya

I never punch in my when recording myself, although i do take it section by section and can sometimes do many takes to perfect it. Especially when quad tracking tight rhythm guitar parts!

Actually i lie, i punch in for vocals because i do think that is where my talent is lacking....however the song is more important to me than the concept of all in one take performance.

Actually as i am writing this i am thinking of many bands who write great albums but are terrible live performers and probably punch in heaps when recording. It's a tough one, i like the idea of quality performers, i definitely respect it (like watching Dream Theater live is incredible or Dire Straits Alchemy) but i like listening to albums of bands that suck live, some of my favorite albums are done by shocking live acts.

It's a tough one
