Pre Recording Day Hints Things to consider the week before recording
Drums -
When deciding on what drum sound to go for it is important to choose the right skins for
the job.
A clear skin, single ply will give you a fair amount of attack and a long sustained note.A
clear front and back kick drum skin will give you that metal style slap.
A coated two ply skin will have less slap attack and give you a more rounded drum
sound.A Coated front and back kick drum skin will get you that meaty thud.
Also a good plan to bring a spare set of sticks
I recommend -
Kick -
Back beater side - Remo coated Powersonic bass.Front sound hole side - Remo coated
Powerstroke 3 Black suede.
Snare -
Remo, coated Emperor
Toms -
Remo,coated Powerstroke 4
Guitar -
Always a good idea to stock up on a few spare packets of strings and 9 volt batteries if you
use pedals.
If your thinking of hiring amps then make sure you try them out a day before the recording
session just to double check there working and well maintained.
Bass -
Always a good idea to restring and break the new strings in a day before hitting the studio.
New strings will give you back that presence to help you cut through in the mix.
Boiling your strings may bring back some some brightness but never the glory that a new
set will.
Vocal -
Your voice is your instrument so best take care of it.Its a lot harder to hunt down a new
voice box on the black market then a set of strings.Try not hitting the piss and chain
smoking your lung lollies the night before recording.
If possible print out a two copies of you lyrics, one to give to the engineer so when your
recording different vocal sections the engineer has a reference and the other incase you
forget a line.
