Pro Tips

Disscuss Recording Time Up Front.

When booking your session, talk to the producer and or engineer before hand to make sure you have arranged for the proper amount of time to accomplish what you want to get done. Remember, it takes time to get things right in the studio, and that it’s extremely rare to be getting the track cut on the first take!

New Strings and Skins

Make sure that all band members have their instruments in top shape and that the guitar player(s) have fresh strings on the guitars and the drummer has fresh heads on the drums.

Practice, Practice, Practice

Before booking your session, make sure that your band has had plenty of rehearsal time with the songs that you are going to be recording and that your drummer has been playing to a click track.
