1) Editing your mix can really pay off, by "Eliminate that Second Solo Altogether!"
3) You can rewrite the song until the lyrics are correct, or until you are exhausted.
4) There is an "h" and no "l" in the word "exhausted".
5) The background music should "Spotlight the Vocalist" in the best possible light.
6) When mixing you might have to go through a few "trails" until you get to the good ones.
7) A song with four verses could be shortened down to three if there is a good spot to edit.
8) Be sure to label your mixes, in the computer and on disc.
9) Put discs away when your done.
10) Look how much time you spent to get it corrected and completed.
11) Don't listen to the song so much that you can not tell if it's any good, take a break!
12) Get the verses to "sing the lyrics" by singing them over and over until they are comfortable!
You can check my new mix of "Places You Get to Go" from my new album "On Time" (2011) at ericstefani.net under Podcast.
