Q: when you record do you do everything in one take for each instrument or do you allow overdubbing on post production
A: when recording the entire band (arrangement) by yourself, i find the only way to get it to fit together right is if you go around many times and keep re-doing each instrument a little better, so you can actually hear the other instruments better each time. obviously the first take of the first instrument, you wouldn't be hearing anybody else. and then on the second instrument, all you're hearing is the first guy who couldn't hear anyone. etc, etc, and around you go in layers until eventually it seems as though almost everyone can hear 100% of almost everything else. and gradually make things better and fit better
