QOTD: Have you ever recorded a new song and heard something, some sound, some note, chord, etc, that wasn't there, so you add it to your song?
This happens to me all the time and it's really weird. I'll record the instruments and start listening to nail down the lyrics and I'll actually hear something that the song is asking for that isn't there, but I hear it in the same exact spot every time I listen. I do mean that I physically hear it, not just that it would be a nice touch in that spot, but actually hear it. And it's something that I'd never think of adding in a million years, nor anything that I'd even want to add. So rather than pissing off the music Gods, I go ahead and add it.
Maybe you can link us to one of your songs where this happened and let us know what it is.
I can make a list, but I won't. So my most recent example would be my NE3 song, The Blitz. I have a line that says, girl you shine, you move so fine. I kept hearing this sound in the mix that sounded like something shimmering, for lack of a better word. I didn't even have to experiment. I picked up my guitar and hit record and bam, my guitar knew just what to do. I just did a harmonic and bent the neck of my guitar back and forth for a little waviness.
