I edit and "fix" things, but rarely copy and paste one part into another, unless it's something redundant like a big bg harmony section that is just gonna sit under the mix anyways. Every once in a while, I'll copy one chorus to another, depending on the complexity of it and how much energy I have to try and nail it 3 times.
Certain drum patterns will be repeated, if another similar section has issues.
I never even touch my guitars, or the bass for that matter. At least this past little while. hit record... get the full pass. Punch in any questionable parts and we're done, and never look back.
I tend to do a hell of alot of vocal comping, though.
Take 5-8 full takes and splice the best parts together for a master track.
Works well when the vocals are really "on", so you're basically just going for feel and taking the magic moments and putting them all in one.
Whatever gets you here, cuz the end listener doesn't know or care to know what goes on in the making of it; as long as they feel it.
