    I'm going into the studio next week to record my solo demo. It's not my first time in the studio but it is the first time my songs are the focus and I'm a bit nervous. When I perform live it's loose and from the hip, the way I like it. This video has been comforting reassurance in etiquette and openness to the word of the pros.

    16:49-18:03 I have an immense fear that I won't amount to as much as I hope, but this actually helps a lot to think about. It's okay not to be the best, but don't stop trying.

    When going into a studio, are lyrics all you need? Or do you need to have like an idea of how the beat is going to be? And what if you don't know how you want the beat?

    Well, It depends since nowadays you can just look up a beat on youtube and use that one and have it ready , you can by a beat from someone and own the rights , then go record it . * a year late but hope it helps *

    I'm a beat maker but wants to book a session in the studio. I use maschine mk2, but I know is I have take all my gears with me etc and would the studio mix my beat for me... I need info for band and singers I know it's easy but go to make beats in the studio sounds a little tricky for me to get.

    AulSkillz you should probably take the latest version of your beat on a flash drive and have the vocalist sing/rap over that. If you need changes to the beat, you can make them at your house or home studio when you are not paying for studio time.

    Are the artists suppose to pay the time for microphone set up and such, or should the engineer have stuff all ready to go upon their arrival? Would really appreciate an answer on this.
