First session in the studio

I learned something that I should have known about when I was recording in the studio. I found out that headphones going back into the live room go out of the auxiliary's and are then routed to the headphones. So therefore the volume of sounds going into the headphones are controlled by the auxiliary dials on the mixing desk.

I also learned the mic stands we use for the overhead drum microphones need to be tightened so that they don't slowly lean over because they had to be raised up at least three times during the session because they kept resting the drums.

Finally I learned that it is very important to keep the cables tidy because otherwise it is very difficult to distinguish the different microphones.
