Step 2) Compile a detailed checklist
Ensuring you have everything you need
Now make a list of everything you feel you will need to compose the song you are about to create. That tends to discipline you to really get your wits around what you will need, and jump starts your own personal creative process.
When you are ready to record your song, you’ll then have everything right there to record it, including such things as the desired microphones, other instruments including digitally recorded ones, singers you will need, and the type of room or space you feel will be best for the type of recording you have decided on.
Compiling a detailed checklist is an easy way of ensuring you have everything you need each time you compose and record, even if other people won’t be needed until you have finalized your composing.
