Rikki and friends, we can go the tech. route, or we search and search for the right style – and they are good things. People who are having difficulties in life normally look outside themselves for an answer. It is the same for this topic.

Tech and style search, although they are good things, account for 35% of sounding good. Imagination (self) is what is needed to complete your work/sound; and it is normally the last place we look.

What can I do with the style I am using? With my registrations, with my mixer. Leaving a style, then coming back to it? Can I select the ending, and then come back to the style? Am I listening to the original song and using the above to create what I want? The best part of this method is, when I learn it, and I can apply the same thinking to the next song -- I the next 100 songs will sound much better – it will sound like me.

Use all you have in you, John C.

PS, Dave is a perfect example of things out of the box. His set up is him, and his performance is him. Do I like how he sounds, well, I thought I would send him a PM message about that.
(he he he he ha ha ha oooops!)
