Remember, it's emotion and feeling that make the best song, not
necessarily the best technical rendition.
If you mess up a part while recording, don't stop and start over. That can
easily cause you to burn out. Instead, check to see if the engineer can
punch in the correction.
You don't have to fill all the tracks on te tape - don't try to force something
that won't fit.
Always keep in mind the focus of your music. If it's the vocals, plan to
spend the most time on them. Don't waste time on things that don't
highlight the focal point.
Get the sound you want while recording. (Never assume that you can fix it
in the mix.)
Unless you have unique effects, record individual tracks clean and add
effects later.
Don't necessarily double track everything. Doubling a lead vocal can hide
all the subtleties that make a song personal and likable (although it can
work well for a chorus and special effects).
Know when to quit for the day. If you're tired, it will show.
Keep guests out! It's your recording. Guests will distract you and may sway
your opinion of how the music should sound.
Make backup copies after every recording session.
Tune up often.
Always get a track listing and accurate time log from the studio.
