{{Pat|At the end of the day all I'm really after is a recording that I want to listen to so with that in mind, how you get there is sort of secondary. Practically, you risk losing the energy of a group of people playing together especially if you're not using computers to fix your mistakes. So a well rehearsed and capable group has the potential to get things done very quickly if your after their sound. Also, you may benefit from more than one brain working.


The downside is getting everyone physically together, focused and musically and artistically satisfied can be difficult. Often, there is a compromise on several fronts that may lead to a bland, committee-like result.
The "Do-it-Yourself" approach can work if you're disciplined. It takes longer because you have to figure out a lot of things like, "What exactly am I trying to accomplish at this point?" and "How will this decision affect future ones production-wise". I think if you treat it like the big job that it really is, you can use the extra time saved from not dealing with other people to your advantage. It takes a lot of mental effort, so it's best to take it slow and not expect a finished product right away.
