ABSTRACT
As we near the end of this book, I’d like to take some time to offer some tips that can help make a session go more smoothly, both in the project and in the professional studio environment. Of these, one of the most important insights to be gained (beyond an understanding of the technology and tools of the trade) is the fact that there are no rules for the process of recording. This rule holds true insofar as inventiveness and freshness tend to play a major role in keeping the creative process of making music (and music productions) alive and exciting. There are, however, guidelines, equipment setup and procedures that can help you have a smoother flowing, professional-sounding recording session, or at the very least, help you solve potential problems when used in conjunction with four of the best tools for guiding you toward a successful project:
n Preparation n Attention to detail n Creative insight n Common sense.
