MUSIC RECORDING PRE-PRODUCTION? WHY YOU SHOULD BE DOING IT
What Is Pre-production? It’s a thing of the past, that’s what it is! Pre-production is something that you had to do when studios were expensive places and time in them was limited. You did pre-production in a rehearsal room with your band, so you could walk into an expensive studio and be ready to go. Now that everyone has DAW software on their own computers - or even on their phones - it’s not necessary anymore. The proverbial ‘studio clock’ is no longer ticking.
Well yes, but also no.
WHY A PRODUCER IS STILL IMPORTANT AND WHY YOU NEED ONE
It’s a reality that much of recording is done these days in home or project studios, and often in isolation or by exchanging files. And because of that, more often than not, there isn’t going to be a designated or official, professional, separate producer on most of these projects, But despite that fact, I’m going to say that you in many ways still need one.
HOW TO NAVIGATE YOUR FIRST TIME AT A PROFESSIONAL RECORDING STUDIO

In this article, we will walk you through how to best prepare for your first studio session, and some tips on how to navigate this new experience.
WHAT TO BRING TO YOUR RECORDING STUDIO SESSION

All we ask is that you don’t expect us to have every single piece of kit and instrument you have!
PREPARING FOR YOUR FIRST RECORDING STUDIO EXPERIENCE
That first ever studio experience is a definitive moment in the career of any artist or band.
There’s just one catch: artists need to duly prepare!
