@Inti Brian and everyone here you should watch this when you have 40 min to spare. You won't regret. Very inspiring for who's looking to make music.

So they broke the law. Absolutely, and thus they deserve the fine, due to consistency. But what makes them idiots? Two people get on a motorcycle each, never even occupying the same vehicle, go on a hour and a half ride to get takeaway fish and chips, and probably petrol I assume, and then go home. Obviously they're not about to catch the fucking virus under those conditions.

Definitely something the makers of LMA Manager 2002 would be proud of.

I see the usefulness in it. I suppose if I was to make a cover of any track but not playing along to the original or using some device to help guide me, the tempo would be way off in comparison to the original as I lack that practice.

I practice with one (well... sort of, I practice with a metronome), but if I’m playing with other people... I don’t like one. But I know a lot of people who do. I also know a lot of people who don’t. I also know that tons of big bands play to a click track as well, so there is that - although a lot of them just have the drummer playing to the click track. For recording, I’ve got mixed views on it - but I think that’s because I get massive anxiety when that red recording light is on and the click track is in my ear. I’ve heard the best way to get over that is to just record yourself whenever you practice... but idk. I’ve hated every single one of the recordings I’ve ever made But for practicing, I think it’s pretty important if you’re learning anything that you find complicated - for rhythm or lead. It’s just much easier to learn get the timing right and build muscle memory playing slow with the click and gradually upping the BPM. I also only ever play with it when I’m practicing through headphones. Otherwise I can’t hear the click over my guitar & I don’t have in ear monitors to fix that.

I know people who use the click when they are playing sets live too and the most important thing it does is give you a reference for the rhythm parts especially in songs where the rhythms double or if you have time signatures that change as well. Practicing with a metronome is another one that I think goes hand-in-hand with playing with a click because playing a part of the song or the whole song along with something guiding the time really strengthens your understanding of time and how to use it effectively too. Having said all that, like you said if you've never done it then it really doesn't make sense to use it because i've also found that sometimes it can really just mess with your head haha. Think the video is missing from your post btw.

Dustin Hoffman would find it.

Any pics?

Think its mostly vocals so I am still learning there but yeah if @Inti Brian posts something in here I'd be happy to take a stab at improving it and giving constructive advice. One of the benefits of going to a studio very often is hearing other people sing and then re-tuning your hearing to what is actually required to make a song sound good versus the "it sounds good" philosophy. It's honestly a very slippery slope as well because its very hard to break habits and patterns but just like learning an instrument it comes with time and practice.
