The drum track went fine, but the bass player had never been in the studio before and was having a serious case of studio jitters. After a while, the bass player left the studio completely frustrated, embarrassed and just wanting to leave. While they were out, I determined that the bass player would indeed need to record again or I would need to do quite a bit of editing. Because they knew it was a scratch track, they weren't aiming for perfection on the scratch track. After a while the band came back in to record together. While they had been practicing their parts separately to prepare for recording in the studio, they could not have predicted their reactions when they were actually in the studio.
While recording together for bass works well as you can use a DI, it would depend on many other factors if this solution were to be used for other instruments. Does the guitar player or drummer need to take visual clues from another player to get something just right?
More later...
