Recording

As a general rule, when an instrument just doesn’t work by itself, pair it with another instrument to perform the same melody, and pan it similarly.

  • ex. Take me to the pilot does a good job of this with 2 different string parts playing the same hook melody. It thickens out the sound and makes it more believable
  • So if you have a lead melody part, always ask: is this instrument doing justice to it, or does it perhaps need a hand pushing the melody?

Try recording doubles (ie unison tracks) some time later (ex. A month later).
