Tell that to your customer when he (or she in this case) wants you to replace part of an edited track with the same fragment from another take. A simple case: <http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/d_amor_sull_ali_rosee2.mp3> After this was edited (9 fragments from 4 takes), the singer wanted to replace the part "del prigioniere misero conforta l'egra mente" [2:03 to 2:27] by another take. Now I could have told her that what she wanted was 'rooted in an older way of thinking', or that she was stupid and should have had that bright idea before we had done the five edits following this fragment, but I didn't and actually performed the edit to her satisfaction. Now this was a simple demo with just the piano instead of a full orchestra. The latter could easily be more than 20 tracks if the recording is done live and no mics must be visible. And mixing it before editing is usually *not* and option. Quiz2: there are 10 edits in this recording, free beer at LAC2011 if you can find 5 of them.
