wtf? You can have a start and an end but not be finished with whats in the middle (edits,
mixing...etc) thats how I knew it was 8.5 min long. I mean I'm writing music, creating art, not
trying to cover up watergate or a murder. Why would I be hiding anything? Why would I go out of
my way to hide shit??? thats crazy! lol!
Well if u really must know I extended the end of the track by a min to be a little more DJ friendly
(mechanically) after I took some advice from my friend that is a DJ, but shouldn't I have the
freedom as an artist to do whatever the hell I want? Just because I added another minute to the
track and didn't make an announcement about it doesn't mean I'm hiding it from anyone, I didn't
know that I was required to report my every move.
Do vocals have to be lyrical vocals to be vocals? Not sure what ur getting at here...maybe ur
the one hiding something...like ur real questions or intent. I'm confused by all of this beating
around the bush business. But again if u must know...and I thought I already explained this to u
but maybe not... The orginal plan was to have my sis record vocals over the track but time did
not permit, and she was not prepared (I'm in Florida, she is in New Hampshire 1,500 miles
away) so with the short time we did have I had her harmonize over the 2 track and I did some
edits on her vocals...but I dunno if that answers ur question even still. Possibly u are trying to
say that I should not address her vocal edits as 'vocals'? Cause last time I checked artist were
free to do whatever they wanted to do...thats why they call it art. Pardon me if I sound a bit
annoyed, but ur questions come across very confusing and not really to the point. Say what u
gotta say, and be clear...u won't hurt my feelings if u don't like the song...its not for everyone.
peace
