But, hey, aren't we supposed to be talking about recording?
Anselm summed it up very well. Being prepared is certainly the big thing. I played on a folk singer's CD last year and really tried to concentrate on playing with intuition. Her song was about birds on an island where she sometimes works and she wanted me to imitate the mood of the lyrics (eg. birds taking off, etc.). It was probably the best experience that I've had in a recording studio and the result seemed to sound good. I waited excitedly to hear the rough mix. When it finally came, the bass track was down so low that you could hardly hear me. I haven't heard the final mix yet. Fingers crossed.
