- ask yourself (and the artist and/or drummer ) if the drummer will be able to pull off the after-the-fact drumming. sometimes it can screw up drummers if they haven't ever played to a click, or done anything like this before. +10 i just finished up tracking a band where the drummer was not readily...

I am just wondering if cos I have not sang (sung?) in a while for recording or live that maybe my voice is struggling. It just SUCKS cos for some reason this build up of muddiness is happening. i would think this would be a large part of it too, maybe you just need to start singing more regularly. ...

of course he did, your friend was paying him.
