Recording Tips:
  • Don't sweat it!  Just do your best, and remember your sound will blend in with the rest of the band. 
    • If you are getting frustrated, take a break and come back to it later!  It happens to everyone sometimes.
  • Record while surrounded by soft surfaces if possible - carpet, drapes, couch, bed etc.  You will sound the best this way!  
  • Stand or sit with tall posture to get the best sound
  • Include 5 seconds of "room silence" at beginning and end.  This helps our final product immensely!
