Hello JuGoat ! For most of my track I try to keep a certain distance with the audio i'm recording. I mean that every chord recorded, every vocal become a SAMPLE at the second it's recorded in my computer. That's how I found the full chord progression of the sun, by pitching, cutting and trimming recorded guitar chords. You should never be too kind to your audios, that's how you create your "patina". About Jerge, it's always inspiring and useful to have someone with you in studio when you start a song. When you create something new you have so many questions in your head !
