Hip Hop, R&B and Electronica Session Tips.

Know your equipment:

    • Bring manuals for all the gear you are using in the session to the studio.
    • Empower yourself with an understanding of MIDI syncronization.
    • Put a one or two measure count off at the beginning of every song.
    • You must know how to seperate out each sound to its own output. (see "Output Assignment")
    • You must know how to turn on or off effects such as reverb and delay. Often all effects will be off during dumping.

Don't expect to get a "PRO" sound if you are bringing your beats to the studio on an audio CD.
