thanks for the input - so what do you do about vocals? record scratch
tracks low enough not to bleed, but loud enough for everyone to hear,
or play the whole thing through without vox and add them afterwards?
Thats why they have isolation booths in the big studios. They sell them in the back of some of the magazines - or the poor man's approach is put the band in the garage and run a cable into the house, for the singer to sing with headphones.
Regarding the noise gate for recording the drums, it doesn't prevent bleed through, it just makes it less obvious on passages where there are instruments but no drums. However, if you set the noise gate wrong, it could easily cut off the end of cymbal rings at the end of songs and such. So I would apply a noise gate AFTER recording using Logic's noise gate.
