Microfrets guitars have that special saddle
arrangement to adjust stringlength at the other end. I
think you should have individual frets per string too,
then.
Recording to one track, especially printing it hot,
gives tape saturation for the performance of the
group, rather each player his own distortion. Four
players with a 4dB clip would be 16dB clipped when
played back. While the all-on-one-track way only
touches the peacks of the big beats you all lean into.
For atmosphere you want to have lots of common
factors: like the same ambience, the same delay, the
same eq, charing your tape saturation.
I prefer using loops, rather than programming drums.
The advantage of programming is you can play live
parts if you use your own samples (mostly snare). The
advantage of a looped bar or two of drums, is that you
can get that magnifieing effect, that you get
listening to the exact same bar over and over. You
have to pick a really good one for this, though.
Having a good loop running is more inspirational and
faster than doing a step by step programming. I am
never satisfied with pre-programmed stuff. it all
falls apart, eventually when you put in cooler
samples.
