This might have been ask before but don't remember reading any thing.
On an average day of recording for a steel player how many songs, or hours per day or spent in the studio? Just wondering how much
time was spent on the Intro, licks & feel of the song. I know it all depends on the song.
Thanks

I can answer that one for you Autry.
The day was divided into 4 3 hour sessions. (These are mastering) Demo sessions can be longer.
The session times are 10 2 6 and 10. There is a limit to the number of minutes of recorded music you can have but no limit on the number of takes.
What makes these guys so good is that as a rule they have not heard any of the tunes until the show up for the session. Either producer or artist sings the song; the pickers make a chord chart and arrangement and viola!!! a new song is cut. It is amazing to see how talented and fast these guys are.
