This week’s meeting was orientated around the preparation process – making sure everything is in place so that the weekend’s recording session would run smoothly. This involved communicating with all appropriate parties to ensure they know what they are playing, when to arrive at the studio, when we’d take breaks and when we’d be finish by. I expressed to David that this was a key area I wished to develop; having the ability to be thoroughly organised when it comes to collaborating with individuals and groups, so that everyone is up to date with all of the relevant information.

David expressed the importance of booking time in the studio for trying out the external hardware, allowing me to interact and get a feel of how they work prior to the recording process, ensuring a fluidity when it comes to my workflow on the day of recording.

By the next recording session, I wanted to present the edited drum and bass recordings.
