Q:  7.9.23  9:54 pm my current solution to questionable vocal quality is just to record a whole bunch of takes and splice them together, but is this smart? i worry that because i'm not forced to get one entire super high quality take i won't improve. i'm curious to hear your thoughts on this, and if/when you've used this tactic. thanks
A: your concerns are valid. the more we have editing technology available, inevitably the more we use it. i always fantasize about somehow forcing myself to pretend i'm living in a universe with no edits allowed. but i've never found a way to make this work. i suppose, in a way, there is a magic blessing in the age of editing which is this: if you do too many takes, your voice gets tired out. so in a way, you're still under pressure to get it right sooner rather than later
