ok, so I'm going through my percussion and notes and just fine tweaking velocity and positioning and stuff. Its taking ages, so...
Do you go through your entire track tweaking or just do a bar or so and loop it? Do you think it makes a difference to the overall quality of a track? |

Good questions, I think this is all personal preference based on A) what works for the individual, and B) how much time he or she wants to spend.
Personally, I think that all this tweaking makes subtle but noticeable differences in track, especially when listening to a high quality recording in a good listening environment. When listening hard it is possible to hear all the consequences of the artists little tweaks and subtle adjustments. This (IMO) can bring music to a new crystalline, psychedelic level. My brain is no longer hindered by "I wish the artist would have made that 16th high hat a bit more natural sounding with some velocity tweaks", and is free to lose itself in the soundscape.
For me the best way i can find to do this is to do as many tweaks as possible til i am sick of it, then bounce the track to my ipod and leave it for 2 weeks. Then go back and listen to it. The elements that need most tweaking will immediately be apparent. make notes while listening and then go make those adjustments, bounce, ipod, and leave for another 2 weeks. Come back with fresh ears again, etc etc. maybe 2 weeks is a long time, but if you have multiple projects going on and arent in a hurry then i dont see why not. its always more captivating to listen to tracks that you havent heard in a long time.
hope this helps!
