caffine can help get you amped up and creative (it does for me, at least) and helps you want to jam until 4 in the morning, but doesn't help much in the way of your playing. i often make the claim that caffine makes me play better, but what i realize is that i'm often so jumpy and tense while playing that my speed doesn't make up for my head being in the clouds.


but i think we can all agree that boozing it up isn't going to help you at all in a studio.


i do all my recording at home and i have a pretty decent setup for what i need it for, so i have actually never paid for studio time. my buddy works at a studio in CT and we're planning to lay a few things down there in a few months, so it will be a cool experience!
