I also do it all in one shot. I can't help it. I tried doing it the other way around on my last production and I had a lot of trouble getting everything to sit where I wanted. Just not the way I did it at the beginning so my brain doesn't work that way, I suppose.

I also rarely bounce anything to wav, aside from the entire production as it currently sits. I like the ability to go back and tweak any little aspect.

Thanks for all your replies...ive taken something out of every one and rebuilding my song...its starting to take better shape already, more crisp and alot louder and thats before the mastering stage.

I have elimnated the process of bouncing each track down and am working on the dynamics of each track in the arrangement...so far so good!

Hope some other people have taken something from this post too!

i do the same , sometimes till the computer sweats like a bitch and starts to sputter and spit at me. But then i render a 20 second patch of the song to give me an idea if its ok.

What about mastering? do you guys chuck on some kind of harmonic exciter and limiter on the master track early so you can hear what it will sound like? Or try and do without so that it sounds even better at the end?

This is a great post, something I have been wondering. I am also about 6 months in and have opted for the mix as I go, as I find I am playing with fader automation all the time anyway, I can't really imagine how it would work otherwise.

I do sometimes if i see no hope in the song because it sounds quiet, but when i do it sounds pretty good and wished i hadnt cus theres nothing to look forward to at the end!!
