It depends who you talk to to some extent and the type/style of music. Sometimes more is more, sometimes less is more. I feel production, to a large extent, is the practice of that concept.

An example of what I mean is an artist like Tom Petty. Some songs have "a lot" going on, some...not as much. HOWEVER...both of the aforementioned are produced extremely well. I believe with his production, there is never anything that they didn't want to be in the song. If you hear it, it's on on purpose...I would even go so are as to say absolutely deliberate.

I'm not looking to necessarily get into too much of discussion of it on the forum. I've had ideas run down here enough to not want to at this point. I've gone the route of PM's. That being said, PM me if you are really interested. I haven't been on here much lately. I check in and that's about it. I would be glad to help where I can!

Others, I'm sure, will be glad to help as well. There are some VERY knowledgeable people here! I also think you would be hard pressed to find a more willing to help bunch.

Do you have any examples of artists or genre of music or specific songs? I can give you a tip, that I feel, helps A LOT!
