Being in a studio can be fairly nerve wrecking, especially if it is your first time. The constant pressure to perform can be very hard to deal with. Here we will discuss some tips on what to do, what not to do, and how to conduct yourself in a professional studio.
Being a producer, my main role is to be in and out of the studios in my area. I've seen everything from small house studio setups to million dollar studios with the best recording equipment known to man. One thing that I have noticed is that reguardless of where you are, the "unwritten rules" of being in a studio are always the same and it is important to follow them (that is if you want to get your money's worth).
Why this is always such a struggle to do, I know not. I do know that when you are on time, it does a few things for you.
Shows that you are punctual and you value your engineer's time.
Shows that you are serious about your music and your work.
Makes you look more professional.
Gives you some time to view your surroundings and plan on how you will set up(if needed) your own equipment or equipment given.
Provides you a possible opportunity to talk to other people who may be in the studio with similar interests(networking).
Nobody want's their time wasted, you nor the engineer, and guess who is paying for the time it took you to get there when you should have been there 15-20 minutes ago? You are. If anything, don't waste your own money. BE ON TIME!
