EDITING - choosing the takes that work the best

After many hours spent in the recording studio, the time has come to sift through 176 takes and find the ones I like the most. When it's me playing my own music, the responsibility lies completely on my shoulders to choose the versions that project my concepts most powerfully, and suggest them to my producer. It looks like arbitrary mathematics, but it's a system that helps me figure out what is really usable content. The finished product to follow soon!
