Robin, The standard "Nashville" method is to lay down tracks and keep layering until the thing is done. Even with a band of people that play together, most of the time there's isolation so that if there are mistakes they can be fixed without bleed over from other instruments. I recently was privy to going about it the "LA way", the old school style, which is cut the tracks live with all musicians, no isolation and take the track that has the best feel, clams and all.
Perfection is not necessarily the point of making art...call me crazy.
