I don't,I just come in ready to play the track.My engineers set up the tones I will release as public media.Much time goes into that by the by to set up what is called "headroom."I do a lot of shifts dialing it in from the guitar,or sometimes they even dial that in for me.I recorded the same as a major label artist would.It was intense pressure,I had outstanding session musicians helping me out.I would seek out and find them and ask them to record with me.Outstandingly talented people and fun to work with.They gave me their best.I gave them my best too.
