Hey there,

Not a singer ... but do a lot of production work. I work with a number of bands and artists, and I can say one thing ... double the studio time you buy if you are smoking weed while recording... not necessarily due to cock ups, but because the creative process is when underpinned by any drug - sometimes it makes it better, sometimes it makes it a LOT worse.

There is a big different between live and studio working, and quite often, new artists who come in expect to acheive the "live" effect as easily in a studio as they do in a club... singers especially - but one thing is true .. live, the athmosphere carries you.. increases the flow of adreniline in the system, making you more alert...

In the Studio, where you may be repeating components many times, I have found that smoking causes forgetfulness ... lol .. lyrics take a lot longer to record!!
