I realized a long time ago that No studio on this planet
would be any use to me and the way I write

So I had to learn how to record by Digital, simply because
it's the cheapest way for me to get my songs to the right people

Being A Creative Audio Editor is essential for any song writer
who needs to pitch new songs, and I am lucky enough to have a competitive singing voice and a partner with a great commercial
voice

Songs rarely come out as the finished article and I would say NEVER, every phrase has to work and thats when a hit can be born

Yes we get the odd exception to the rule , we all know that can happen

There are studios who do a great job and others who are quite frankly awful run by thickos who think they know it all

J D s and M A B s advice is spot on

One of the most important principles of songwriting is to remember that a good song is a partnership of many different components, all working together to produce a satisfying musical experience.

In that respect, song components are either enhancing or compromising their combined effects.
