But in the end, its only music. You can choose to make it photoshop perfect or you can leave it raw. There will always be a human element in anything we do. Perfect or not, it is, what it is. Imperfection is perfection! But one rule of music is universal. Whatever music we make and whatever method we choose to edit it, it must move you. All these songs had all these imperfections but yet they sold millions, why? Because they move the listener. Autotune or not, over produced or not. Move me please!!! Who freaking cares if i can hear a mouse pharting in the mic on track 7, lol. Who made these standards anyways? Just Be... Everybody in all these posts has a good point.

Since I've been loving you is my hi-fi test track. If you can't hear the squeeky pedal the stereo sucks. If you can hear Robert Plant breathing in before lines then we're in business.

I remember working in FM radio when that song was out (the height of Terminator 2 anticipation, for which this song was the theme), and putting on my headphones to prepare for a break and backsell. I noticed that the verrrrry long note Axl holds at the end has some sort of crossfade edit. My PD and I used to laugh about it a lot, figuring he threw a long wail in at the end of the song just to show he could, but we were pretty sure he "couldn't".

Then he flubs with an early "Lo...look how wrong you can be" Classic! And very obvious!

It can be heard at minute 2:45 before the Van Halen's guitar solo kicks in. It's now a natural part of the song to me and I have even seen back tracks to the song that include that knocking lol!!!

As well, track down an interview with Alan Parsons about the speed increase at the end of Great Gig. It was done on purpose for no other reason than just to do it. No glitch.

I have a son that spends weeks on a song and really ruins his hearing and the takes by overproducing and trying to correct every mistake and every glitch. There's a good friend of mine that also drives himself crasy with perfection and never seems to acomplish much. If you're getting out there and people are listenning, then be happy, do the best you can, be proud of what you do. You will always have the critics, thank God for them, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do at the time. One of my demos was produced in Canada before I had the perfect take and it has become one of my most downloaded songs to date. Loved the blog, but take it in stride and do your best no matter what part of the whole you play. Nice blog, I like to read what others are thinking and saying about the industry.
