Preparation for Recording

Instruments
Not happy with how your instrument sounds ? Borrow, rent or purchase another instrument that better suits your needs before coming in to lay down tracks at the studio. The better your instrument sounds , the sweeter it will come out and translate on the recording.

Guitar/Bass: Get Your Guitar Setup at your local guitar shop and put on new strings
Drums: Clean Cymbals, New Drum Heads, Oil Pedals
Vocalists: Eat healthy foods, Drink plenty of water, Avoid Dairy and Nut Products


Musicians

-Practice makes perfect


-Come up with tempos to your songs using a click/metronome . everyone in the band will be comfortable playing the song in the studio thus saving you you time and money

-Vocalists: type the lyrics to the songs that you plan to record. This makes my job easier as i can follow along while recording vocals and make sure that every word is sung crystal clear.
