Last Monday 04 July 2005 12:08, Frank smith was like:
Daft as it may sound maybe we should set a time limit
for some songs and
force ourselves to work to this.
I do a take limit. Three takes and you're out. That's only a rough guide.
Every player has a curve of warming up to a take, some need longer than
others. When the 'right' take happens you'd better have the record button on,
because everything after that is usually a waste of time and you'd be better
off coming back to it another day.
Unless you're going for that 'Phil Spector' sound that is.
cheers,
tim hall
