Q: how do you refrain from vocally overdubbing your songs with the ridiculously rich harmonies that youre capable of forging at every single oppurtunity? I live for the parts in your songs where that does happen, but if i was in your position id be doing it all the time. even the vocal major 6th and 3rd harmonies that you do a lot in "fly around" i enjoy extensivley
A: usually i record much more than i need. then, as a separate process, i go through and mix the level of the backs, in many cases leaving them out. usually it actually is not so great to have full harmonies blasting all the time, especially in like the 1st verse or so
