Are you exporting your songs in individual sections like verse, then another separate section for Chorus and assembling them in your DAW?

OR

Are you exporting the entire song as one file, and adding in tracks to comp after?

I hope that makes sense?

Thanks!


I export the tracks in full...100% from start to finish. I place each track into a new audio track in Sonar. I then use envelopes to bring the instrument parts in and out as needed.

This screen shot is from a project in Sonar.



I use envelopes for all the tracks... even the bass, as you can see, which tends to maintain a constant level... but as you can see, it's there to edit things out and to fade the tracks together. You need to have nice ending tails that fade naturally.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
