It’s crucial to ensure that each recorded audio track is properly edited. This means removing unwanted sounds and helping the desired parts work together. Effective editing has a huge impact on the finished sound of your production.
Sometimes this means altering the timing of a recorded performance on drums, guitars, even vocals, to align the parts to one another. It also includes correcting pitch of an instrument or voice when that helps to improve the song delivery. It’s my opinion that the recorded version of your song should represent you on your best day, and it needs to capture an emotional quality that best delivers your song. At times it can be challenging to serve both needs, so rest easy with the knowledge that your most compelling performance can be adjusted to remove any distractions with regards to pitch or timing.
Let’s talk about pitch correction… It is my regular practice to use pitch correction in a transparent way. Rarely will I use an automatic correction plug-in – unless it’s the sound you’re after – but rather I’ll manually examine pitch and use my judgement to choose where and by how much to help your recorded performance.
Whether you supply recorded tracks or record them with me, we’ll discuss editing plans so that you’re fully aware of the steps we’ll undertake to finish your project.
