I'm often amazed by the ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY with which less experienced musicians seem to KNOW beforehand that they prefer the safety of isolated, serial recording over the groove and liveness of whole-band recording.
And they often feel safer when the eng./producer is in his "lab".
Almost as if they felt naked and exposed by his presence in the same room when they're together.
It's not such a big issue when it's just 1 musician and the eng. doing overdubs in the CR, they actually feel kinda "privileged"
