I approach my songs like you do. I always play them all the way through on every instrument, and rarely cut and paste anything. I feel like this linear approach keeps the song evolving even if it is just nuances. I leave little mistakes in there, too, because there is such a thing as 'too perfect.' However, I never use a click track except for self rehearsal. I feel like a straight click track sucks the life out of songs a lot of the time. After I get the main progression and the basic arrangement down, I do my drums next to outline the song and then play to them (instead of a click). I can always edit or even redo the drums later but having a percussion track with the feel of the song helps me swing the timing the way I want.

Overall, great job!

Peace,

My ears hear even MORE tin in everything! Ha! I appreciate all your comments. Very cool how you track like The Beatles did, with RINGO being the time keeper! Makes for tough times though ONLY IF needing to edit and line things up for any reason of doing technical editing. BUT, sure, I can appreciate your method! Very cool! Thank you for your comments!
