Track Count Number, by DianaDee Osborne

Track count – the higher the better... or is it? 
This RECORDING HINTS blog focuses on
GarageBand but hints work in ProTools, Logic, etc. 
Sample photo of a song project:

 
Photo does NOT show many tracks. 

Duplicate tracks (1&2,  and 5&6,  and 8&9) are useful to 
PAN the sound to different speakers... Sometimes I have a 3rd Center track too.
So yes, sometimes "more than minimum" is a better choice for track count.

But a HINT: 
Keep a library of tracks with NO EFFECTS 
separate on your computer, 
one file folder per song 
with a title like AMAZING GRACE TRAX
and keep original tracks there. 

Then if you goof in setting EFX and 
can't figure out how to undo it, 
you always have a  SAFETY  BACKUP TRACK. 
Also keeps your program cleaner since you don't have to
fill your screen with MUTED tracks.
Of course -- those you can always hide!

  3. I think many aspiring musicians want to record their tracks and songs in high quality. Unfortunately, not everyone has the money to record their songs in a professional recording studio. And personally, I can recommend a site that will help write a description of the song or album. I wish success to all young musicians. I hope that this post will help them.
