Preparing for your recording session

Having clear preparation in place before a recording session helps ensure the best use of time and the clearest possible audio capture. The following can be helpful to think about ahead of your session enquiry.

  • What is being recorded (vocal, instrument, spoken audio, demo)
  • Who is performing or contributing to the session
  • Any reference tracks or audio direction notes
  • Intended use of the recorded material
  • Timescale and any key dates or deadlines
  • File format and delivery requirements
  • Whether publishing or catalogue organisation is also needed
  • Number of songs, sections, or pieces to record
  • Whether lyrics or scripts need to be prepared in advance
  • Any accessibility or communication requirements for the session
