Click and tracks shouldn’t be universally used by anyone performing on stage. Here are 4 reasons you shouldn’t use them.

Every once in awhile, I get someone commenting about how “real musicians” don’t use click and tracks. I’ve spent plenty of time debunking that myth, but I will concede there are times when you shouldn’t use click and tracks live.

When is running click and tracks a bad idea?

1. You’re performing by yourself
2. The context isn’t right
3. You don’t want to
4. You’re not ready
