1. Remember to change drum heads a few days before going in to record, and bring multiple snares if you have them.

2. Change your strings before you get to the studio.

3. Don't bring extra people, They will usually get bored talk on their cell phones get in your way or try to talk with the Engineer while he's on your time.

4. Always tune between songs.

5. Try to practice with a click track ( metronome ) a couple weeks before you come in to record, this is vital if you plan on using loops or doing any sequencing . There's a reason a lot of the CDs you hear sound so perfect.

6. Show up on time, or give plenty of notice if you think your going to be late!! Also if your sick, reschedule for another time. That way I don't get sick and your not trying to get studio sessions done when your feeling like crap, it will have an effect on your recordings.

These are not rules just suggestions to save you and I time, money and headaches.
