You would explain that to the engineer at the start of the thing though. Or you would infer that thought process through your playing and your level of enthusiasm about things like that while they're happening.markjazzbassist wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 10:06 ami realize i might be in the minority here but if i'm going to a studio i don't want anyone messing with my stuff unless i approve. there is no such thing as "fixing" in my world. art is art, it is flawed just as humanity is. the reason i don't listen to pop music is because it is "fixed" and by that i also mean another defination of that word, neutered. no thanks. keep the mistakes or well do another take. most of my favorite parts of songs are the solo that started then stopped or the amp buzzing or stevie wonder's clavinet's battery dying and the whole performance is fuzz clavinet. i don't like sterile music.
again YMMV, my own .02, hope i don't offend
I agree in a sense, but I try to make the distinction between accident and mistake. I am always trying to get bands to keep accidents, like an amp buzzing or random feedback or unexpected distortion or a wrong note that still sounds cool, the slightly slower measure in the middle of the verse, etc. I'm not often successful unfortunately.
Mistakes on the other hand... A straight up bad note, or a tom mic getting hit, a poorly executed drum fill, or something outside the realm of "vibey" out of tune-ness, for example. I don't think fixing stuff like that neuters anything.
