This gets said many times in the studio and is followed up with a reference to another sound or song.
But there’s confusion…
By ‘like this’ do you mean you want it to sound similar?
Or do you mean this is exactly how you want it to sound?
Often it’s the second one cloaked in the first.
An artist isn’t going to come out and say they want to copy a snare sound or guitar sound…But then they’ll want to keep tweaking it until it sounds exactly like their reference.
‘I want it to sound like this’ is really helpful when everyone knows what you mean by it.
