| Plotting and Planning
I think the most valuable advice I have read here is to only double where it makes sense to double. You can choose to do it on the verse, but not the chorus, on the chorus, but not the verse. You can do it where it makes sense with the mood, with the lyrics, or with the instrumentation. The important thing is to think about what that sound means to the song.
Also, consider what it means to your life as a performer. If you are strongly identified with that sound, your CD customers are going to expect to hear it live--and probably forever. |
