Subject: RE: spoons in sessions
stating facts sir is not bragging,
I started recording in 1980, I recorded 5 lps, one with the NMECQ, one with Carthy playing guitar, PLUS 5 CDS, I mentioned it not to brag but to point out that during that time I had on occasion to get used to playing with a click track, in fact I was asked to do so by none other than Bill Leader., my experience of playing with a metronome came in useful on this occasion as it did when I had to play brass band music with the concertina band.
all of this is fact,it is not bragging,THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT I THINK EVERY SINGLE TRACK THAT I HAVE DONE IS GREAT it means that I have had a lot of experience of recording, do you understand? and based on that considerable experience it is my opinion that METRONOMES are not uselessit is my opinion that they are useful, althugh Ido not think they are as good as playing along with a recording or playing along with live musicians, DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS NOW
