mixing down “10SN” – i’m getting to the part where i have to make semi-permanent but lasting commitments.
my problem is that i really want to pull down ALL the instruments except for the stereo harmony acoustic guitar arpeggio where i sing “one lonely guitar, one lonely string/one lonely singer…” but it really really shows off my weaknesses as a singer. truth be told, it really does sound terrible.
and that means that either i have to
a) go back on my “no punching in” rule, for the sake of Steve Albini-esque Total Recording Honesty
or
b) embarrass myself.
which would you do?

well, for the fact that you have to bounce tracks, I think that “punching in” would be acceptable on the track where vocals are so out front. Otherwise stick to your guns bub.
guns have been stuck to. but i think i may be for gun control.
