Editing & Overdubs
The editing process is where musicality and technology intersect. This process tends to span the entire life of the project. Sometimes editing a part right as it is recorded is the best way to hear its full potential, while sometimes it makes sense to focus on the edits later.
Overdubs are usually the second step of the production process. This is where everyone involved in the process, including outside musicians, collaborators, hired guns and creative people lay new tracks and new ideas, perfect arrangements and finalize parts.
