For sure, bro!
But my specific example was with a rapper.
I too have spent hours just on getting the lead right, meticulously perfecting every detail.
But the better the artist is, the less time it normally takes to get everything right!
And let me add, that in the example I talked about, we spent a couple minutes testing the mic and setting up the comp and headphone mix. But once we were happy and I said go, he nailed it in one take!
Both me and him were ecstatic, because it was a first time experience for me, having someone nail an entire song in one take, and the first take even!
So my point with sharing the story was to say that you need to treat every situation differently. Do what you gotta do. If that means taking 100 takes, do it! If it's right after 1 take, then that's that!
