Hey Gavin, I wanted to ask about metronome use. I read somewhere that you use it for some tracks live (the ones with the clips being displayed) so you stay in sync. But what about most studio work and other live situations (like 19 days, you must have done it with a click, it's really hard to stay in time with the rest of the instruments otherwise, for me anyway)? because as far as I am aware, many Pro Drummers *don't* use a click for many of their tracks, and almost never use one live. I personally like to always use a metronome, regardless of the setting, but are there any disadvantages to doing so?

Gavin contributed a great article on creating click tracks to the Sound on Sound online recording magazine.
