Confessions of the Studio Pros
Not to put too fine a point on it but the recording studio, when people behave badly, can be a very stressful place. As a producer, I work VERY hard to make sure this doesn’t happen and it very rarely does but, on occasion, a client’s behavior — generally inadvertently — can sour an otherwise enjoyable studio experience for everyone. In an effort to help my readers avoid putting themselves in this situation, I’ve reached out to a collection of experienced studio professionals and asked them — with the guarantee of anonymity — to describe some of their worst studio experiences. Consider these as landmines to avoid as you make your way through the songwriting demo process.
