This is one of the best tips I've seen regarding this subject.
When done properly, the "inexactness" between the timing of the tracks is
NOT random!
...And in my experience, the order in which such tracks are overdubbed makes a big difference:
A musician can react to a track that is being cut, but the track cannot react to them.
Some of the really good studio musicians are capable of "reacting" to an imaginary track (if they've been clued into what is to come by a good producer). ...But still, its
NOT the same thing.
Even so, a much more convincing simulation of a horn section (or whatever) can be done this way than by simply playing chords on a keyboard from samples.
