Money
As artists, your music matters and you want to be sure you find a recording home that’s suitable for you and your music. While costs should play a major role in your decision, your ultimate experience should bear more weight. To pay nickels and dimes for a shabby session only to go back and do it again is double the work. Price shop and compare and consider your needs and what you are willing to compromise.

Experience
Many studios service several genres of music while others cater to a few. Many service bands while others are limited to accommodating a few musicians. Some studios have staff that is highly experienced while others have staff that are just starting out. Keep in mind also, a studio just starting out doesn’t mean they are neither fully equipped nor knowledgeable of taking care of business. They could have gained much experience in another environment and decided upon setting up their own business.

Samples
Early on is a good idea to listen to samples of the studio’s work similar to the music you plan to record. Remember there’s no need to listen to rock, when you are planning to record jazz. It gives you no idea of what they can do with your project. If the recording is not suitable for you, there’s no need to further pursue them. Move on. On the other hand, if they don’t have any recording samples…this becomes a gut decision you have to make.

Visitation
Make an appointment to get a visual and a feel of your intended recording environment. What matters the most about your studio experience is how you feel when you step in the room. Notice other people that are there when you visit. Do they appear to be the hang-out crew? Does this matter to you? Do you want extra non-staff people in on your session?

Do you smell smoke upon entrance of the studio? As smoke is not any equipment’s best friend, your precious recordings should not be jeopardized by possible equipment failure because of it.
