We love simple, classic band arrangements. Some of our favorite bands in rock and heavy music only use drums, bass, guitars and vocals and that's it...or do they really? 

Some of them, sure. But you might be surprised by how many raw and organic sounding bands are actually using additional elements, tastefully added to their arrangements, to create some extra impact, size, excitement or depth.

Then there are the ones who don't even hide it but make it part of their sound, creating a cinematic experience or just massive, larger than life productions. They hit hard and use tension and release, build-ups and breakdowns to keep listeners engaged throughout the songs.

And finally, there are people who don't want to use ready-made samples or synths, but instead create their own unique sounds and special effects, manipulate their instrument recordings in crazy ways to create unique textures or find other ways to enhance the live takes they've recorded.

At the end of the day you have to do whatever it takes to make the song feel right. To make it sound as good and exciting as it can and to get your message across. 

If you're already pulling that off perfectly with just your instruments - great! 
If you're not sure about whether you've maximized your musics potential - go listen to this episode!
