This session i was shown about tracking, which has a lot to do with being prepared and have everything set up before recording takes place. Ive watched a number of people tracking so far in the studio and i notice the engineer is always very cool and collected, this helps the musicians focus just on their music and not get distracted. Some instruments like a bass and keyboard are often times recorded using direct in. Ive seen the producers switch out mics before on a vocalist due to some unwanted effect or unforseen problem that comes up. This is basically the last step in pre-production and being professional is important.
