(By this point, the music mix is sounding pretty much exactly the way I want it.) Then I will listen to it a lot and sing along. If something doesn't click, I just leave it alone. But when the lyrics come it is usually in a flash and I keep a digital recorder at my desk to capture what is coming out of my mouth as I am singing along. Then I play it back, type it up, and tweak a few things. Then I do vocals and mix it.







That's pretty much how I work as well. Sometimes not, but for the most part I go for sound first THEN work out the rest. Really cool to know!

On a side note, in my facebook feed this morning was a BIAB ad with you in it! I was scrolling down and recognized you before I knew what it was for. Trippy man.

Again, really cool song!
