Despite having decades of stage experience, I'm a complete novice when it comes to recording. I've recently been asked to provide some guitar tracks for a local artist's recording. Would it be better to track the dry guitar and add effects later? I think of reverb as an overall effect so I don't plan on having any reverb on prior to tracking, but what about something like a dotted-eighth delay? Would I want to add that when I'm all done or do it live? What makes sense to me is any time based effects that would normally go after the amp like Delay/Chorus/Reverb should be added later, and any pre-amp effects like Comp/Phaser/Wah should be done live.
