STUDIO TIPS:
1. Practice, practice, practice. This can save time and money in the studio.
2. Fresh drum heads are a plus.
3. New strings for guitars and bass a must. If you can get your guitar set up prior to recording, this is a plus.
4. Use your equipment or ours - it's your choice. We have all kinds of equipment available but if your unique sound comes from your gear, have it in good working order and we will mic it up.
5. How much material? How much time? This is the hardest and most confusing thing to determine in any recording situation. Everyone works at their own pace, the band and the engineer should be flexible - this can be discussed before or during the session.
For example; One song in an 8 hour day is pretty standard. But this is often dependent on genre.
Time tip; If you're trying to shop a recording for a big deal, do not attempt too much material. If you're just tracking for demos you can do as much as you like. Time = Quality.
6. Please think carefully about inviting friends, fans, or roadies, additional people in the studio are distracting for the band and the engineer. Their presence rarely contributes anything helpful.
Hi Doug. Thank you for checking out our tunes. Glad you like them. :)Would love to hang out in the studio one day and see how you do things. Much respect for what you do.
I'm in a new band as well called Paradox. Back on keys after many years of being a stand-in bass player for several groups around here. And we're playing more pop music than jazz. Easy money!
Hey Doug! Thanks for putting the song up. Things are good. Talking with ferret right now. Hope things are good for you and hope to see you early next year to start more songs!
