Three takes and you're out. That's only a rough guide. Every player has a curve of warming up to a take, some need longer than others. When the 'right' take happens you'd better have the record button on, because everything after that is usually a waste of time and you'd be better off coming back to it another day. Unless you're going for that 'Phil Spector' sound that is. cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk
