Hi People,


I'm starting a new project. It's going to be a medley of a few songs (5 or 6, I suppose), mainly a MIDI sequence, with vocals added on top.
My question is, if anyone had experimented with rcording a medley, did you find it more usefull/easier to edit to record the song segments seperately and then mix them together, or to record the whole thing as one song?

I've recorded demo's for several bands to be provide to clubs, booking agents, etc. I often recommend abbreviated versions of songs or medleys to present several songs/styles in a short time.

I am completely convinced that a medley should be performed/recorded as a whole vs. edited. I look at medleys as a "creatively arranged song". Looked at as a song (rather than a group of songs) the medley needs to merge seamlessly from one "section" to the next. There is no way to know if the sections flow well unless it is arranged as one song.
