05 Taking Control This is your time and you're paying for the privilege so make sure that you're happy.
"You're going there to get a result that you're happy with. That's the most important thing."
Guy Massey
Engineer
Abbey Road Studios
That goes for the instrument sounds like basses, pianos, guitars, strings, everything. When you record your vocals make sure the mix in the headphones is right for you.
Are you happy with the FX being used? If not, say something. You'll only wish you had later on.
Although it's always good to want to expand your knowledge about the different elements of the studio, while you're paying for the session it's better to concentrate on your job and leave the engineer to do theirs.
This way you'll both be 100% focussed on what you're supposed to be doing.
