Here’s a brief primer on the Fly By Night:
1. Set up a microphone. Any microphone. Get a decent signal.
2. Bring your ideas and your songwriting instruments of choice to the
studio.
3. Relentlessly record take after take to get the ideas down fast.
4. Intermittently, take a short break to adjust levels and panning, slap
on a few preset effects or add a drum loop.
5. Return to step 3.
6. Listen back for the strength of your ideas.

4. Not smiling.
5. You continue after the spark is lost.
