Well, don't scare them away. It's cool to be prepared, BUT-

using a digital studio actually simplifies editing. Punch in/punch out recording gives you power and flexibility.

Wow-how hard can duplicating tracks in FL8 or ProTools be?

Are you talking about analog recording?

The problem is not adding the music--the problem for some musicians/song writers is creating the music and deciding which take to use.

I don't agree.

The producing methods are far easier now than in 1998-

Who knew she was a comedian. I saw a big joke from 0:01 to 1:07. Expert Village videos are awful. Thumbs up if you agree.

It's 1975 on the phone for you. 1975 wants your expert advice.

Tape (or DAT), and playing it through some crappy speakers, will give you a different perspective to the final recording, digital is digital, tape is analogue.

If you can make it sound good on some little speakers, it's gonna sound 10 times better in a club or on radio. I hope this helps you
