Some people rehearse through different parts many times. And on some sessions, they expect everything to automatically come together and happen instantly. I don't know if that makes much sense.the finger genius wrote:I think this is much more of an issue in a tape based studio. If you're using a DAW, there's really no reason not to be rolling constantly.
It's difficult to keep track of 15 scattered pieces of takes from different parts of the song that are quickly labeled in such a session.
I usually keep a pen and pad with me so I can write down where the rehearsal ends and the song starts, and other info like that, so I can make markers later. If it's one rehearsal before the song starts, that's one thing. But a thousand little snippets of audio can make a fast paced session more confusing and troublesome.
A lot of people think precisely that, since it is DAW based recording, that they can play the song in no order, that the edits happen instantly, and that the computer knows which takes of which parts need to go together, in no time flat. It doesn't work like that. there's consequences to not having a workflow. I try to establish some workflow if I notice the session is going in that direction. I'm just recently starting to win more often.
