Record Engineering - Script and Guide

This is a script and guide to assist young and new engineers to build confidence in the recording studio. A nervous student makes mistakes and a confident student is an efficient student, use this resource to help students succeed!

Included is a detailed step-by-step guide on how to set up and record a session. This guide takes students from turning on the plugs to clicking record on the track. The script gives students prompts and questions on what to say to the musicians they are recording to ensure they get great takes and build a good rapport with the musicians.

As a music technology teacher, I have seen students struggle for things to say in the music studio, I have seen students forget important elements of the recording process and miss out key parts all because they are nervous and flustered. This script and guide helps students to slow down, check off what they have done and build confidence in the studio.
