Identify​ ​which​ ​editing​ ​techniques​ ​you​ ​will​ ​use​ ​based​ ​on​ ​the​ ​genre​ ​of​ ​your​ ​recording.
Allow​ ​yourself​ ​enough​ ​time​ ​to​ ​complete​ ​the​ ​edits​ ​you​ ​need​ ​to​ ​-​ ​don't​ ​rush​ ​the​ ​editing
process.
Manage​ ​your​ ​time​ ​effectively​ ​and​ ​efficiently​ ​-​ ​plan​ ​ahead​ ​so​ ​you​ ​know​ ​what​ ​you​ ​can
accomplish​ ​in​ ​the​ ​time​ ​you​ ​have.
Consider​ ​editing​ ​a​ ​couple​ ​of​ ​bars​ ​and​ ​looping​ ​them​ ​to​ ​get​ ​a​ ​perfect​ ​performance.
Context​ ​is​ ​everything.​ ​Make​ ​sure​ ​the​ ​edits​ ​you​ ​make​ ​fit​ ​within​ ​the​ ​context​ ​of​ ​the​ ​song.
Think​ ​about​ ​the​ ​big​ ​picture.​ ​Focus​ ​on​ ​what​ ​you​ ​need​ ​to​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​get​ ​the​ ​best​ ​result​ ​for​ ​the
audience​ ​in​ ​the​ ​most​ ​efficient​ ​amount​ ​of​ ​time.
Use​ ​your​ ​reference​ ​track​ ​while​ ​you​ ​edit.
Take​ ​breaks.
When​ ​you​ ​listen​ ​back​ ​to​ ​your​ ​edit,​ ​don't​ ​look​ ​at​ ​the​ ​screen.
Ask​ ​your​ ​friends​ ​and​ ​family​ ​for​ ​feedback.
