Lastly, we'll explore the concept of leaving your original melody untouched and enhancing it with harmonies during the recording process.
By the end of this episode, you'll have a toolkit of techniques to creatively evolve your melodies across different verses, allowing your songs to resonate with listeners in new and exciting ways while maintaining their authenticity.
