I wanted to punch that guy in the face. I looked at him and said "if you're going to do that, you need to find another place to record." It's ridiculous--why would you need six to ten demos of each song on an EP? What does that even mean? What does that even mean? By the time it's recorded, it will lose all emotion and energy. Plus, if he needs that long to master a song that he has written, he needs to work some more on his craft. |
On a serious note, I don't find it that weird, as I am doing exactly that for my own debut release, but the thing is that I'm recording the pre-prod demos myself at home, so I'm not losing any money, just time and hard drive space. Most of my demos are between version 3 and 7.
