F.A.Q.

What do I need to prepare for a Recording session?



  • - Rehearse. Rehearse. Rehearse. The studio is not the place to learn the songs. The best thing you can do for a recording session is come prepared to do one thing: record your parts. Your experience will be more enjoyable and less stressful when you can focus on the nuances of the performance, how you play it, rather than, what you will play.

  • - It is a good idea to have a blueprint outlining what you will record. Work out your arrangements. How many songs are you going to record? What instrumentation will you need, and for what songs? While you may not know precisely how it will sound in the end, it is a good idea to start thinking about these kind of things. Prior to recording I will help you lay out a plan to get the job done, because I know your time is valuable.

  • - If you are a vocalist, bring an extra copy of the lyrics. Having a lyrical structure that I can reference will make the recording session run smoother.

  • - If you have any pre-recorded material that you need to record along with, make sure you bring a copy of this to the recording session. It is preferable to have any outside source material in a *.wav file format.

  • - Make sure you show up for your session on time. In fact, it would not be bad idea to show up early. Load in any equipment or gear quicker, and you can get right down to business when your session begins

  • - Ask questions during the session. If you like how something sounds be sure to let me know. Recording is a collaborative effort. Communication is key.
