Perfectionist tendencies

I’m 90% sure I’m not the only weirdo who’s like this, but when you record a vocal track, how the hell do you ever settle on it? Like, for every single thing I record, I listen to it and think it’s ok so I leave it. But then I come back to it and I ALWAYS think I can do much better if I had another try. If I like the song enough to bother, I always have the urge to do it again and again until it’s acceptable to me.

 

What if it NEVER IS!?

It never is perfect when you come back to it. And you will always think you can sing it better now. Pretty normal I think.

 

What I do it to do the best I possibly can for that recording session. And then, after it's recorded and I know I did the best I could, it serves as a snapshot for that place in time. For that level I was at vocally.

 

I have a difficult time listening to the three CD's I've recorded where I was the lead singer. Because I hear where I could do better and it does make me want to re-record. But I won't. Those were snapshots in time, snapshots of my ability at the time. New songs is where it's at.

THIS is why I don't have many new vocal recordings!

I keep one-upping myself all the time.
