The beauty of being willing to edit is that it frees you up to take chances and risks when recording, potentially getting a really magical performance. You can take that one that felt great, that had the right groove, but where you totally screwed up in a small spot and fix it, keeping the magic. And sometimes just knowing that you can edit makes you relax and play better, so that you actually might get that elusive perfect take!
