Sudio Tips - Keyboardists
- Have all songs written and parts figured out and assigned before coming into the studio. Don't waste valuable studio time and money on things you can easily do at home or at your rehearsal space. This point cannot be stressed enough.
- If you are sequencing tracks , have them ready to go on a CD or hard drive before coming in.
- Practice, practice, practice! The tighter your songs are, the smoother the recording of them will be and the better the end result.
- Prepare a minimum of 25-30% more songs than you plan to actually use on the final product. Allow yourself a few throw-aways for the songs that aren't up to snuff with the rest of the album.
- Come into the studio well rested, clear headed, and ready to work. Recording is a physically and mentally demanding process. Bring plenty of water and food.
- Don't be high or wasted ...
