How to pick a studio
Ask to hear songs they've recorded in your genre. Check whether the hourly rate includes an engineer, and whether mixing and mastering cost extra. A cheaper room with an engineer who knows your sound beats an expensive room with one who doesn't.
Show up ready
Practice the song until you can do it in a few takes. Bring your beat or stems, your lyrics and a reference track that sounds like what you want. Studio time goes fast when you're figuring things out in the booth.
