Recording Tips
- Pre-production is extremely important to the end result and WILL make
the difference between your recordings sounding like a demo or a professional
radio quality recording.
- You have heard the old saying, practice makes perfect... have your songs
prepared.
- All band members should know and agree upon the song structure before you
enter the studio.
- Record your rehearsals with a simple cassette recorder and evaluate the feel
of your songs.
- Try rehearsing without the vocals to make sure the musicians know the songs
well and are not just following the singer.
- Work out any solos ahead of time.
- Memorize your lyrics.
- Whenever possible practice with a click or metronome.
- Check and re-check the tuning of your instrument throughout the session.

- If someone does make a mistake don't get frustrated. Remember: It's all
practice... until it's right.
- Listen to playback. Before moving forward to record another track or
instrument make sure that the track that was just recorded is perfect.
