a big thing in my life is choosing weather to record a band's rhythm tracks together....or individually. i record rhythm tracks together, and first....always. but a lot of people think its better to record drums first, then everything individually on top of that. i don't agree, because you get a much better recording in unison as far as timing and tighness goes. you feed off eachother, and stay with eachother when you record together, and just overdub solos, vocals, etc. what are your thoughts? don't like 99% of all studios record rhythm tracks together?

It depends really, if you want a recording that sounds live then sure no question, all at once. However if you want to add some FX, edit around here and there then record one by one or in smaller groups. I often tend to record in the following order: drums + bass, electric guitars, acoustic instruments, singer(s). If you do this you will want to give everyone a click track and of course make sure your monitor mix for the musicians is perfect. Just experiment and see where you get the best results. I recommend a patient band for your experimenting ;-)
