Isolation of something is to reveal its flaws, and people passing judgment on things like tone, timing, errors and erroneous noises outside the context of the whole recording, is a bit weird. Would you isolate the rice from a risotto and tell everyone you think it tastes bland?[/quote]

It all comes back to either being a Bedroom Superstar, or being part of a BAND. You do what sounds right for the BAND, so you have to learn to compromise your tone, so that it fits in with what everyone else is playing. The sound I use for practising at home is FAR removed from the sound I use on Stage. Just use this facility the way you would use tabs. It helps you find out exactly what the guys were playing on the recording, and you can put your own stamp on it later.
