This may not work for everyone, but it's working for me. The usual order is to write a song, record it on a CD, and then perform it. What I've discovered is that in the process of performing songs, I learn what they sound like when played different ways, ie different arrangements, and therefore end up with what I think is the best version of the song. So it's a tad weird to record a song and then end up playing a better version of it live.
The solution is to start performing the song before you record it. Once you've got it down and you think you've found the best way to sing/play it, then record it. I've done this for my new CD and it's definitely helped a lot.
Just a quick little tip on this fine Saturday morning. I'm going to put all of this stuff together in book form one day. So I can be an "author" and stroke my own ego.
