STICK WITH WHAT YOU KNOW

I can happily spend hours on a computer trying to get just the right synth pad, trying to make a synthesised fiddle sound convincing or getting the biggest dance kick in the world.

Not this time.

I know already what my drummer sounds like, and the sound is going to be the same on every track. Ditto bass, piano and guitar - well, maybe not so much on the guitar...

NO CLICK TRACK

<Gasp>. I haven't done this for years, but I'm going to record a guide track with guitar and voice and then use that to dictate the tempo. Sorry DJology.

UNDER-PRODUCED

This goes with ‘Stick with what you know’. My gut feeling is that the more production goes on the less like me it's going to sound. and it's got to sound like me - that's the whole point of the project.
