Martian,

Any chance you could render another take with just a 4 or 8 count in the beginning and eliminate the click track for the rest of the song?

Just a quick thought to help Fly get away from the humilitron (what I call metronomes ... as opposed to Metro Gnomes). A humilitron can also be a vocal take that is soloed ... the last producer I worked with loved to do that. I'd come out of the vocal booth all nervous and queasy because you feel like you're under a microscope (which you are) and there he'd be sitting listening to just my vocal take without any supporting music; running me through the humilitron. Yikes.

No matter how tight you are as a musician the metronome/click track/humilitron will always come along and remind you that you ain't so tight.

I had originally posted the click track idea only to help get the beginning of the song lined up. Ultimately, the various takes will need to line up with the rhythm section so we should only need a count off in the beginning.
