Strings: I’m sure you’ve heard that you should change your strings before recording. It’s a very good idea, and in most of cases it’s true, but it often causes a lot of problems too.
For this reason we recommend that use a set of stings that are at least 1-2 weeks old and ‘played in’ well.
Effects, pedals and other toys: 95% of the time you will be asked to not use them. Effects like flange, echo, etc. are best add later in the mix.
Pickups: If you have an active pickup , don’t forget to put new battery into your bass.
Noise and other problems: If your amp, or guitar is noisy, you should get that fixed before the recording. Do not trust your luck that it won’t cause any problem.
