Embracing imperfect edits for creative effect

DjRUM highlights the creative potential of embracing imperfect edits, using a trill as an example. By intentionally leaving the editing crude, they create a unique blend of realism and digital magic, where listeners are left questioning the authenticity of the sound. Instead of meticulously aligning transients and perfecting crossfades, the producer opts for a more spontaneous approach, allowing the imperfections to be masked by other elements in the mix. This technique emphasizes the beauty of free recording and improvisation, demonstrating that not every sound needs to be flawlessly executed to contribute effectively to a track.
