1. Pick the right type of Studio that is beneficial to your Project: Not all Studios will fit all talents. It is important to note that not all Studios will do every genre of music. There are certain Studios in Jamaica that only do Reggae and Dancehall. Be sure to do your research and pick the one that suits your needs.
2. Meet the Engineer: Engineers are a dime a dozen! It is important to meet with the engineer to see if he/she is the right fit. Remember that you will be working with this person and it is important that you are comfortable as they will be tapping into your creativity and ability to produce quality music. Ensure that they are a reputable person and have been in the industry for some time and have experience working with different individuals.
3. Get the Best Price: Cheaper is not always better! Get a studio with a rate you are comfortable paying. It makes no sense booking a Studio with a cheap rate that has below than average equipment. The most important thing to think about is your career. Nobody wants to have a muddy track.
4. Come to your Session on Time: Time is something that can never be re-gained, if you are serious about your career you will always at least try to be on time. There is an old saying with something to the effect that "Artiste's are free spirits and will show up when they want" . My take... show up late and wait until the other person who came for their time is finished. Be respectful and show up for the time you booked. In the event that you will be late .. call in advance.
5. Do not Leave your Masters in the Studio: Do not depend on the Studio to store them for you once projects are completed. The Master is the “tracked out” Data files that can be further edited or remixed. The value of your project is usually in the physical ownership of your Masters.
These tips are sure to help your next Studio Session be smooth
