I just remembered a funny quote I read on someones facebook status... it read...
"Neither the Beatles, nor Stevie Wonder had Protools.... maybe you just suck."
Just think about that the next time you "fix" one of your tracks using protools. Maybe you should just try it again instead of using protools to fix every other take. How good are you going to sound live if your punching in every word , replacing every drum hit, copying and pasting every guitar strum.
Performance is everything. If your making mistakes every two bars maybe you should practice some more instead of fixing it. And on the other hand if you can perform your whole song well with minimal punch ins...keep doing what your doing. Use the extra time to get creative with harmony tracks or double parts if needed. What ever works for the song!
Oh, and if Protools was available back when the Beatles or Stevie where first making music... I'm sure they would have found some way to make it better. Remember back when they were recording they had a limited number of tracks but some how found a way to make it work. The Beatles would use two tape machines together to get more tracks or bounce tracks to free up more room. What ever worked... they were creative! Ahead of their time!
