Time to record with TAPE!
Funny story about tape if you're keen on hearing it.
Many years ago I co owned a studio with my guitar player in Hate Eternal. We were always hearing bands complain about digital recording and how "tape" was so much better and all that.
so, as a marketing tool for our studio we went out and purchased a 24 track otari 2 inch machine.
And we booked band after band on that marketing tool of "being one of the only studio in town with a fully functional tape machine".
Want to know how many bands actually could record on it?
One.......us. haha.
Nobody could get through their songs in one take. Everyone wanted to punch in. "what do you mean we can't punch in"......haha. When the record head is 8 inches away from the erase head....you hear it plain and simple. Unless it's in a break of the song....you have to be able to play. Haha.
Literally dozens of bands....not one could use it. lol.

It's most likely the sound replacing program he is using. They miss all types of stuff unless you really know what you're doing. Most "bedroom engineers" do not understand how to effectively use these programs.
Or, he has gated the natural sound to the point were the gate is missing them.
Speak with him maybe?....hire a real engineer to capture you guys?

That's funny. Now I've worked an old MCI 2-inch deck that could do a rolling punch-in and punch-out - so was this an option you guys didn't give to everyone? We had a Studer deck that would let you punch-in, but you couldn't punch-out to let the tape roll to the next spot to punch-in. I never understood that logic and we couldn't modify the deck to do it, either.
I guess digital recording really allowed the metal heads to flourish then?

lol, seriously? I can play everything I go into to the studio with in a whole take. If I can't, then I'm not ready. Of course, everything is easier and quicker if you can punch in, fix mistakes, and not have to do 50 takes to get something right. It's really about preparation, though. I don't wanna waste time in the studio trying to get something right because I'm not prepared (which our guitarist does, lol).
I see it as the scourge of expecting recorded music to sound professional.
