Well..
I know most people do 'scratch' guitars and bass for the drums to record along to, and then go and do 'proper' guitars and bass..
Since most of the recordings I've done lately have all been really quick, I just did the guitars, then bass properly, and then did the drums (then guitar leads and vocals, and any extra guitar parts or whatever). Since the guitars and bass are being reamped or done digitally, I don't think there's any reason to retrack guitars..
So basically my question is this: whats the difference between 'scratch' and 'proper' recordings, when you're going DI?
The scratch takes have to be pretty much in time to not throw the drums off, so is there really any difference? Am I better off doing scratch guitars and rerecording them later?
