| You simply have to Listen, Not to discourage you but this is where a good engineer and or producer comes in handy, they can hear a sound and know if its going to fit the song and part.. No one can tell you what is too much, or know what's in your head regarding the sound your after. Comparing other music is a start but what part of that song are you trying to duplicate?
It seems like today some people think if you copy the signal path the engineer used on Steely Dan, or Bonham's drums it will sound like them, its not that simple...
Not saying your one of those, just a observation...
Also remember this that those musicians and engineers were doing that for several years... |
