Your band finally books studio time.

You’ve written the riffs. You’ve rehearsed for months. You’re ready to make the record.

But deep down, there’s a fear you don’t want to admit…

What if it comes out sounding weak? Sloppy? Like an amateur demo instead of the crushing record you hear in your head?

I’ve seen this happen to so many DIY metal bands. Not because they aren’t talented, but because they skip one critical phase before hitting record.

Pre-production.

In this week’s episode, I’m breaking down 5 non-negotiable pre-production steps that will save you time, money, and frustration (and help your recordings sound tight, powerful, and professional).

Inside the episode, I cover things like:

• Making sure everyone is actually playing the same parts
• Why sloppy tempo kills even the best riffs
• How to build better arrangements before tracking
• Deciding the right production vibe before you record
• When outside feedback can make or break a song

This isn’t about buying better gear or booking a more expensive studio.

It’s about walking into a session prepared, confident, and ready to capture killer performances, instead of fixing preventable problems under pressure.

If you’re planning to record anytime soon, this is one episode you don’t want to skip.
