We have also finished up on a record. This one is the first we cut almost all live the whole way through. Some of the solo breaks aren't A +, but the overall feel for the entire tune is better. Our previous method was todrop out for the solo and then come back in, then overdub the solo later. that always worked decently enough, but what we found this time around is the dynamic during the break was better. If, for example, I played a "stuttery" figure the guitaris and banjoist would echo it, as opposed to a break being overdubbed onto a generic backing track. Learning experiences. Another part of the reason it worked better this time is we're all better players than we used to be.
