A somewhat rubbish and listless day, but I have completed a bit of music work. First, adding a tiny bit of guitar to 'An Autumn Tale' to finish it off, then adding last Tuesday's vocals to 'Incomplete Version of the Writer'.
It's amazing how very small changes to the vocals and their effects can transform the quality of the song. I added a faint and distant echo to the vocals and this really improved them, then faded the reverb so that there was a lot less in the verses to choruses. The chorus needed some extra melody too. Most of the difficulties in the sound of a song come from inadequate backing. A song should sound great without the vocals; if not, that should be improved.
