How do you record music such that you'll be satisfied with the product?
Gavin Says:
I normally have a reasonable idea of what I want to play on a song as I'm listening to it.
I know the feeling of not being happy with it - but you have to reach a compromise with yourself and say 'that's as good as it's going to get today'. A few weeks later I can't even remember the tiny details I was unhappy about on the day of recording.
I've done so much recording - and I know my own playing so well - I know there will always be flaws - but I also know when I feel it's sounding good and I should leave it there. Working out every single beat and fill is not going to make me happy.
