When adding a steel guitar part, or any other instrument part to a recording I've found that no matter how good or bad I think it sounds at the time, it almost always sounds different to me later.
I'm just too close at the time I suppose, and need to let it sink in.
Just wondering if anyone else notices this in their recordings?

What's happening is your mind is more focused on what you are playing and even though you hear your part along with the track,you are unable to hear it as a whole until you sit back and listen without playing.
In many cases,it will sound different once again after it's mixed and mastered.

How I play always sounds different to me while I'm playing as opposed to hearing a recording back. And on a recording, it always takes a long time for me to accept any mix that has been done by anyone other than myself

Listening to playback at a recording studio was always a treat for me.I always sounded so good.
But when I got home it almost always got worse.
Doing demos for J cash Was a treat.They were real easy.Hardly any guitar was needed.
Same as doing Demos for jonny Doe. (Daryle Humphree)
Sounded like Mr cash acidently.Lots of demos.No money.Pass the bottle.I remember doing albums at Sunset Sound,in N.Hollwood.Other bands would come by and listen(get in line for recording)They all had mirrors on their guitars.Took awhile to Get that one.
I didn;t mean to go this long.My new pace maker took over.

what dick said...hearing it from outside as opposed to inside the moment.
i always thought it would be interesting to come into a club and watch and listen to myself playing up there on stage. |

| Whenever I am re-doing a track it is almost always because playing fewer notes will get the job done better. |

Kind of a Doppelgänger, Chris?

| My playing sounds better to me after I've had time to forget what I was trying to play. |

I'm along the lines of what Rich said. My playing tends to sound better to me at first, but then on going back I begin to hear flat notes and time issues until I can't stand to listen anymore. Then after some days or weeks it doesn't sound so bad to me.

Yup, what Rich said, I have learned to trust the producer's ears, if they think it's OK I will let it be and later on, once I have time to disengage from what I actually had in mind at the time, I am usually fine with it.
I say USUALLY... |
