Rediscovering old songs


Phait

Recommended Posts

Have you written songs that, at the time you weren't particularily ecstactic over, but were moderately happy with, but always felt it could be better... only until say months later, you're listening to the tracks and... you enjoy them more than you initially did.

 

I'm finding this is the case with some of my older demos. I'm wondering how I was able to write a moderate amount of good (imo) tracks, and today I seem to struggle more often.

 

Also, what do you think about when working on an album - letting yourself be moderately happy with the tracks instead of initially, majorly proud - in hopes that they'll grow on you/the listener?

Phait, for me it's usually the other way around. I went back recently and reviewed some of the songs I had sequenced ages ago and couldn't understand "What was I thinking" when I mixed it down. There wasn't one song that I didn't change at least moderately, and a few that I changed a lot. I can attribute it to "growth" or just being a better critic now.
