In music there’s a fine line between supporting and competing.
Does the synth compete with the lead vocal or support the lead vocal? When does it cross over from supporting to competing? Or from competing to supporting?
It’s a really tricky balancing act.
But it gets a little more simple when you realize that it’s not about supporting or competing elements, it’s about does this song do what you want it to do…does it have the desired effect?
