The Odd Business of "throughput" in the recording studio
 I've been thinking about the rather strange business of developing, learning, playing, and forgetting music parts in the recording studio while under a deadline. Strange indeed. I thought you might get a giggle from my thoughts. You can find them, and oh so much less, HERE. Bob

Quick to learn, quick to forget. If it gets the product done (in this case a recording) then that is efficient, adaptable, and practical.

I always enjoy your writing, Bob. I relate to many of the points you make in this topic. "Record" light anxiety and developing a solo by trial and error while looping over changes in particular.
Thanks for your insights into the world of professional recording. Keep up the good work!

Good article. It's amazing how this idea can be applied to so many industries. When I'm looking to hire folks, I'm not necessarily looking to hire someone that knows everything but someone that can learn everything.
Having said that, I hate when I learn a technique (software, electrical, mechanical, whatever), forget it, and have to relearn it six months from now.

Nice writing. Thanks for sharing that.
 I had some of those issues last time I was in the studio. That sense of "ugh, screwed it up AGAIN!". It took a little time sitting down with the engineer and replaying the good parts of takes and a little copy/paste work to realize that the drive for precision was hurting my playing. It synced well with the click track, but felt lifeless. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

The same thing often happens to me when creating lead guitar parts for my songs - I'll do many fulll or partial takes during the session, but coming back to it weeks (or months later), I'll have to relearn it.
