I actually have 15 takes (Logic make it easy to keep them) and have done as you suggested. This is the one....kayagum wrote:You can always get an extra take or two, and see if any of them top the original.
It never ceases to amaze me how often the verdict is clarified when you have something tangible to compare the original track to, instead of making the judgement strictly in your head.
I've had it work both ways (sometimes I keep, sometimes I change it out for the newer take, sometimes I just toss the whole part).
pitch correction on lap steel?

I just deleted a huge rant I will save for another time but it comes down to.
This is NOT the Matrix, technology is NOT the enemy, if it makes it sound better and tight the music use it, if it doesnt, dont. Its been said on here many times before. Im sure you already know that but its worth repeating. We aren't talking about polishing a turd here, just making something fit better, if thats all, its no different then eq, remember when people were afraid to use that.... (or Frequency Correction device?)

While mixing a tune last week that has heavy trippy pedal steel I kept getting slapped in the face with 2 notes that didn't quite make the bend.
I Autotuned them. Just those two. Told the player who thought it was way cool that I could do it. The songwriter was happy, and I remained sane throughout the rest of the mix.
I've let a bunch of "almost there notes" go as well on other tunes, because as someone said earlier, "perfection is boring."
Just depends on the song, and if it will bug you and or the artist forever.

Well, I didn't end up using pitch corex on the steel part in quesiotn. Instead I used the Logic comping tool to create a Frankenstein steel part. If you're interested, you can here the tune here: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu ... d=34876085
It's the first tune in the player.
Warning: there's some pretty intense excitement about the end of the Bush presidency in the tune.

End of bush = me too.
Pitch correction is the same as comping, I dont give a shit when things were invented.
I like making things sound great, and the decision about what "great " means is why even with all these methods to "cheat" we still have a lot of different types of music and people still think one thing is "good" and another thing "sucks."
A persons decisions and actions in the studio are what make the record. The record is what will define them in the public eye, which is just the end result of all those decisions.
Is it good? Then it is, um... good.
