This may seem like a stupid question, but I am facing what might be a tightness problem. This is the first time I record anything and I am recording a cover. Before recording I practiced the song quite a lot and I think (thought?) I can play it well. But now I am recording I realized that some notes come slightly out of tempo (like playing a note faster than it should, slower, missing the beat, etc). I have been trying to record the same riff for hours and I couldn't get one single take with all notes near 100% in time.
So, is this common? Has anyone faced this? Should I just say "fuck it", split the wrong notes an put them (quantize) in their proper place? Should I break the riff into parts (it actually consists of 4 parts, the classic A B A C, riff). I'm really pissed off. I mean. I can play harder stuff than this riff (which is quite simple) but I can't record it.
If this makes no sense I can put clips of my bad performance, a clip of the original song and a midi clip of the tab.
