AA2 Week 1 Session Planning


Ive chosen to make a session plan/track sheet for a standard Red Hot Chilli Peppers line up.

Because this band has grown up with modern recording studios, I'm guessing that they wouldn't have a problem with recording separately, however i would initially do a few recordings with all players in the same room as a reference track, baffling between the players to minimize spill, with the exception of the vocals which would be in the dead room. After a few recordings of this i would then see if any tracks needed improvement and re-record individually accordingly.


I would clearly label each file (eg Guitar SM57 CS*) *"Cant Stop" and record in high quality 96k .wav format.


Folders would be clearly labeled and separated with consolidated audio files with and without effects, all documents (track sheet, lyrics, effect settings etc.) and click track and marker information.


Go to the MyBox widget to look at the Excel file and check out last year's work.
