That's what I do most of the time in my home studio as well... Except when
recording the sequenced MIDI tracks for the final mixdown - then the playback
can be disabled to decrease the hard drive stress.
However, percussion comes into mind... That can be quite a few mics, and of
course, you want them on separate tracks for maximum control.
