Making the most of your studio experience
Do Your Home Work
Preproduction
- Record your practices. Analize your songs and performance then make changes.
Don't get attached to a part you wrote. It just might not work in the song.
Be flexible. Changes in some songs will probably be necessary before the album is done.
Drummers must practice with a metronome or drum machine!!! No excuses!!!
Drummers should buy the book "The Drummers Studio Survival Guide."
Amazon .com
Drummers should read the "
Tuning Drums
" section of this site.
Simplify if you are speeding up or rushing through changes.
Space is important! Even heavy bands leave space in their songs.
Make sure your gear is in good condition. Learn how to maintain your gear or pay someone to do it for you.
