RecordingMake the most of a session

01 Introduction
Recording is an odd process but one that's hard to get a lot of experience in. You have to pay to do it, so it's not like gigging where you can easily learn by doing. Many musicians find it more nerve-wracking than playing live.

It's doubly hard because, unlike a gig, you may have to live with the results for ages. It'll be your demo until you can afford to record the next one. It's amazingly easy to spend a fortune on recording and end up hating the results.

This section contains some hints on how to get the best from your session, including:

  • Being in control
  • Nerves
  • Mistakes
  • Recording sections of tracks
  • How to explain your music
