YES! Experienced musicians can emulate "listening" to the other
players even while laying a track in isolation. Lesser musician's
can't - they overplay and the music needs rescuing with remedial eq
and other tricks.

Regretfully, must I accept that my refusal to accept individual
tracking as the norm (in pop/rock) is as antique as Mike's refusal (in
another thread) to investigate computer-based recording? :-)
