Some Do's and Don'ts of Recording



10. Preparation, Preparation, Preparation

You can never be too prepared. I mentioned the click track earlier. If a drummer cannot play to a click track you will be in trouble. Studios rely on metronomes to get songs recorded. There is nothing worse than having a song speed up and slow down. Besides that it's hard to follow as a singer and musician. If you wait to see if your drummer can do it in the studio, you will waste a ton of money. Make sure every song is as tight as it can be before you step in the door of a studio. Planning should be done months before you start. Set goals and deadlines for each song to be rehearsed. Organization is a must to pull off a project such as this.

If you have any tips or helps in the area of recording, please send them to us. This is not a manual for recording. We desire only to give you information that will help you in your process. Recording is a huge undertaking. If you surround yourself with the right people, things will go smoother and it will be an awesome thing for you and your people. If you don't, it can be a nightmare. Good luck and let us hear from you.
