A bit of prep before you arrive saves paid time in the room. Use this checklist alongside our before your session page.
Before the day
Charge your laptop, check plugin licences, and export any stems or references you need. Know your key, tempo, and song structure. If you booked dry hire, confirm who is running the DAW.
What to bring
Instruments, cables, lyrics, backing tracks, and a USB drive for backups. Snacks and water are fine. Read the studio rules before you come.
In the room
- Set headphone levels before the first full take.
- Name takes clearly (verse 1 take 3, not Audio_014).
- Take breaks when vocals or ears get tired.
- Confirm talkback works before loud sources start.
After the session
Copy files to your drive before you leave. When mixes are ready, see mixing and mastering.
