You might also want to consider hiring an arranger
and session musicians instead of using your live band.

The operative word above is "might", IMO. Sometimes it's the obvious and
only hopeful route; other times it's a recipe for disaster, robbing all
the soul from the material's presentation, achieving near perfection
while destroying the soul of the beast.

At this point in time Autotune, Beat Detective, sequencing and inexperienced
editing are lots more likely to rob the soul than session musicians are.
What you are really talking about is overproduction which is what session
musicians have frequently ended up taking the blame for.
