Find The Right Sounds For Your Songs

Sep 04, 2021

When making a song from start to finish, there are more creative layers after writing the lyrics, melody, and chords.

Figuring out the arrangement for your song is often a completely different creative process from the songwriting one.

And then figuring what sounds to actually use in that arrangement is a creative process in and of itself.

Should a guitar part be acoustic, clean electric, overdriven electric, or a violin instead?

Let’s talk about it.
