Just a little bit of level setting. It's important that you understand what can,
can't and shouldn't be done. The closer you set your expectations to reality,
the happier you'll be.

Real World Expectations
Modern records cost many
thousands of dollars to create. The
average song that you hear on the
radio is the result of hundreds of
hours of studio time. Please don't
expect your recording to sound like
it's radio ready if you've only invested
a few hours in it. I will do my best to
ensure that you leave your session
with a top notch product however,
everyone involved should be
working to that goal as well. As long
as we dedicate enough time to the
project, you should be happy with
the end results.
As an artist, you should be looking
to work with people who will help to
bring out or enhance your creative
energy.
I'm happy to try to match sounds to
your favorite recordings however,
don't expect miracles. I can't make
a toy drum set sound like $5,000
Yamaha kit (well, maybe I can).

Studio Etiquette
- Be on time - Early is on time. On
time is late and late is
unacceptable - Ensure your instrument is in
good working order (including
your voice!) - Bring extra strings, sticks, reeds,
heads, etc... The clock will not
stop running while you run out to
GC to get a replacement - Keep guests and visitors to an
absolute minimum - Quiet in the control room
- Cell phones and pagers off. Not
on vibrate, OFF! - Get lots of rest before your
session - Eat before your session
- Know your limits
- Sometimes, it's best to walk
away for a little while - There will be arguments. No low
blows.
