Decide which songs to demo
- [Instructor] One of the first things you're going to need to do when it comes to demoing your songs is to decide which songs to demo. As much as I hate to say it, and I'm a songwriter so I get it, not every song you write will have commercial potential. It's going to be up to you to make the decision which songs are going to be worth, for lack of a better way to put it, putting your money where your mouth is. Which ones are going to be worth the initial investment because it is an investment to make a professional recording. You need to be confident in the song that you're spending good money on to record. And, that means that some of your songs that might be favorites of yours when you really take a clear-eyed look at them might not necessarily be the most commercial. But it's the songs with commercial potential that are the ones that you should be considering for a professional demo.
