Hi Steve
Folk have their own way of doing things and you work with whatever way suits you and your own style that is OK. I am just pointing out that NO professional I have worked with would ever consider recording WITH Fx for the reasons I stated. The long process afterwards mixing and mastering is the bit where the sound engineers come into their own. They cannot work their magic with fx that already have been added.

I respect people who work fast and move on however I prefer spending a bit of time recording and finishing a thing properly before moving on to the next project.
