So I'm recording a band that likes to work like this:
1. Record a scratch acoustic rhythm guitar track to a click.
2. Record drums to the guitar track.
3. Record bass.
4. Record vox, etc...
The problem with this is, even though I can massage things to make the parts technically locked in to the click, the vibe of "in the pocket" isn't there, like if we record everybody live. But, they want to be able to punch in on different tracks and make everything note-perfect, pitch-perfect...
I've played with a couple things, like adjusting the bass by a few ms, but what's missing is the natural micro-adjustment interaction between players.
Any tips? (I do know this is a land of compromises...)
