Secrets From The Scene

Ep. 06: Four Ways to Make Sure You Don’t Burn Money in the Studio


Listen Later

In this episode, I talk about four ways you can maximize your time in the studio and get the most value out of your investment. This topic will be great for new artists looking to do their first recording session, but it will also be a good reminder for everyone of how to prepare, communicate, and fully utilize your recording session.

I want to help you avoid making some common mistakes like:

  • Not knowing what you actually want
  • Not communicating with your engineer/producer or knowing their history to ensure a smooth session
  • Not being ready to perform your parts
  • Not capturing content
  • If you don’t prepare, you may end up with these consequences:

    • wasted time and/or money
    • Running out of budget and not finishing a project
    • feeling creatively confused
    • settling for what your engineer/producer wants
    • If you think through the four things in this episode, you’ll be fully prepared and ready for a professional recording experience which will reduce any stress or anxiety you may have and leave more room for your creative energy. You’ll be efficient with your time, you’ll have better content probably, and you’ll even enhance your own musicianship if you have the right mindset.
