Pre-Production
Try some of these tips to Record a great Album
- Record your songs during live gigs and pre-production rehearsals. Even a simple single track recording may reveal weak parts of songs.
- Have all the musical and vocal parts worked out. Know who going to do what and when there going to do it e.i. SOLOS , BREAKS, BRIDGES. No reason to go to the studio and then start wasting time on figuring things out, remember (Time is Money). Even if your not paying for studio time, it's still hard to find the time to get everyone together and frustrating when bands mates and engineers are not on the same level.
- Using a computer or Sequencer? Prepare all sequence material before the session. knowing the programs and using templates are a great way to do this.
- Rehearse more songs than you plan to record. You never know which songs will sound strong on the final product. (If you plan to have a four-song EP, prepare six songs just in case.
- If you plan to use a click track, make sure your drummer is comfortable playing to it. (To get tight, practice to a click track at a very slow tempo.)
- Take care of your body before and during your recordings sessions. Eat well, get engouh sleep, and keep your ears rested and clear.
