Hi Josie,

About 10 years ago I had an occasion to go to a professional sound studio with a friend of mine to record a song that he wrote.
He was not a great singer and had to be egged on with lots of confidence comments.
Well the sound man just said to him that he was only getting the levels correct and could he just sing away.
The sound man was telling fibs (lies) because he was recording my friend as he was singing.It was his way of relaxing my friend.
He recorded about four or five takes of the song and then the magic happened.
He took each and every word (yes every word) and chose the best one for pitch and volume
(if, out of all the words in each track there was one that fitted better but the pitch was off, he would adjust the pitch)
He then rendered (placed all words that were scattered around onto one track) first saving the split file in case he needed it again.
He used a slapback echo on my friends voice that was very subtle and the joy on my friends face as he listened was a picture that is burned into my memory.

So Josie, if it's alright for a professional to do it, I'm sure for us to copy that isn't a bad thing.

Best regards
Michee
