Better Cuts

Updated: Jul 27, 2022

Yikes! I know way to long of a break from checking in here on the blog.


I have been making great strides recently with the quality of my recording production. Taking a few lessons here and there has helped me make up some ground.


Coming back to the age-old concept. When does one know when to stop, or when is this song truly done? The past few weeks I have been working on cleaning up some early songs to this project. In hindsight I think this is has been a good decision. The track currently titled “In This House” has been reworked to a better place. I re-did vocals on the chorus and made for a better conclusion to the song. The drums have been completely reworked and it sounds fantastic. I have been improving my sidechaining techniques for the drums which has made a great deal of progress. Plus the addition of building out drum flavors for tracks helps give them their own signature and style.


I have even found some time to work on a few new tracks this week. A track currently called “Haunted” has really taken a nice turn with showcasing my vocal range. Most of the time I find I get caught up on writing vocals. Sometimes it comes easy, and most of the time it comes hard. I would say I tend to rewrite vocal parts often. Rewriting repeatedly, one could say. Hey, if it’s not working now, it’s not going to be any better tomorrow.



Thank you for tuning in here,

Holden
