When you write music do you plan it all out before recording or make it up as you're recording? I get the feeling it's a little of both for you.
the content is firmly written ahead of time. details as to how to execute it are worked out in the recording session. the lyric/melody, chords, and exact tempo are all firmly established in the writing process, before i even touch the recording. all other instrumental details, such as which sounds to use, and most of the auxiliary instrumental fills and riffs in between the vocals, that would be worked out in the recording process, with some exceptions
