so here i am, recording a synth line for the final chorus of my song. i do a few takes, figuring it out as i go. within a couple of minutes, though, the thing has morphed into a POWERFUL bit of instrumentation. like, it feels synth-solo worthy. the problem is.... it's absolutely not supposed to be that - it's just meant to be a background synth. it feels so wrong to just make it super quiet, because it feels like it demands attention, but if it's too loud it'll distract from the lyrics. so.... what do i do? do i toss it out? gamble and try a rewrite to create another, instrumental-only chorus? just leave it as-is and hope for the best? i'm really not sure what to do here
leave it as is. if you like it so much, then it might jump out at you and you'll find a way to extend it somewhere, but that actually won't work if you insist upon it. so leave it
