Recording Tips

 

1. Always bring typed full song lyric sheets for the engineer

 

 

2. The more information the engineer has regarding your session, the less time will be wasted in changing a generic set up to your specific needs

 

 

3. If you want to leave with a CD, DAT or cassette of the session, request it before the session

 

 

4. Ask about available equipment and equipment rentals. The studio may or may not provide everything you need

 

 

5. The better the instrument or musician, the better the recording (i.e. an old acoustic bass won’t have the rich tones of one in excellent condition)

 

 

6. The best vocal performance comes from a well-rested singer. You may want to sip tea with lemon or hot water while recording. Never drink milk products or use ice.

 

 

7. If you are using a piano for a master, request a tuning. If it’s a demo session, many times you can use it as it is

 

 

8. Remember to ask your musicians to tune up often

 

 

9. If during the recording you make a mistake, don’t stop. Many times that is the perfect take except for that one mistake. Ask the engineer to roll back and punch in or record an adjacent track

 

 

10. Use your discretion when inviting guests. Sometimes guests are liable to distract you and slow the tempo of the session

 

 

11. Know when to quit for the day. If you are tired, it will show up in the final product

 

 

12. It’s a good idea to take a day or two between sessions. Study the CD, DAT or cassette of your session at home, find out what you like and don’t like and get organized for the next session
