Multi-track Recording
Multi-track recording techniques involve recording one instrument or part at a time and building a track up rather than recording all the parts at once and has several advantages over live recording.
There is a great creative advantage in building a track one part at a time since getting every part right; it is even possible to make several versions of a part and choose the best bits of each one. Also, by multi-tracking, the studio can be streamlined to make use of a small amount of higher quality equipment.
These advantages combined provide a flexible recording methodology that can easily be adapted to suit each individual artist and work to make the most of your time in the studio.
