A lot of the pop songs you hear on the radio use over 100 recording tracks. And you know what? They often don't sound that good. Exercise some discipline in your music recording and keep your songs to a minimum on track counts.

You don't need 24 tracks of backup vocals or 12 tracks of guitars, or 16 tracks of a 5-piece drum set. The only reason to have this many tracks is that you're unable to make a decision on what to use in your mix. No way will 100 or more tracks of audio sound good. There just isn't enough auditory real estate available in the human hearing spectrum.

If you have a clear vision of your music, you don't need 100 tracks of material to get your message across. Record and use only those tracks that you absolutely need in order to make your song fit the sound you have in your head. Chances are that you'll be topping at 24 or 32 tracks for most songs. Having fewer tracks stresses your computer system less and improves its performance.
