As much as we might like to think we’re being ‘truer to the art’ by going with just one great take, the reality is that most of the time, even with great vocalists, creating the perfect take – suited for the modern world of popular music – requires more time surgically constructing the vocal using comping. It’s difficult enough if you’re just the engineer in this process, but harder still if it’s your own vocal that you are having to dissect in minute detail.įor better or worse, this process has become an invaluable part of modern music production.
There is something uniquely dull about listening to the same line of a song on a loop while you go through each take to pick out the best parts. Compiling vocals is unlikely to be anyone’s favourite task during the editing process.
