Hey beautiful artists :)
Adding live recordings of musicians or natural sounds into your track, even in small amounts, can create a fresh, human element that elevates the entire piece. Live sounds bring a kind of "realness" that samples and synthesized instruments sometimes can't capture fully. A single live instrument—like a cello line or subtle guitar—adds unique textures, imperfections, and nuances that bring depth and warmth, even to simple music. Plus, a live recording can breathe life into your track, helping listeners feel connected in a way that might be harder to achieve with purely digital sounds. Give it a try!
Let me know in the comments below if you've tried this or would like to try it. :)
Best,
