Well, so far we've concentrated on drums, bass, guitars, keys and vocals, which are pretty common to a lot of music styles. If I covered all the instruments I've ever recorded I could write a novel.

With Percussion, make sure you have what you need, a good selection of instruments, and keep focused on the track. You can layer Cabasas on top of Dumbeks on top of agogo bells until your arm falls off, just spend your time on what enhances the track.

Strings, keep the instruments maintained, use good players, and WATCH THE INTONATION!!!

Brass and Woodwinds, again, a good player and a good instrument make all the difference in the world. With sections, play as a section for the tightness only physical feedback can provide, and also this seems to help everyone get their intonation tighter.

There are so many possibilities in sessions, it's impossible to get to them all. If you have more questions about other styles of music, or different groups of instruments, please email me.
