Harvey Gerst's web site www.itrstudio.com has some really good
articles on preparing for your sessions.

Good info there, thanks. Harvey Gerst's name is mentioned so much on
the internet its scary. His posts convinced me to pick up a pair of
MXL 603s.

The producer thing would no doubt be excellent. I'm applying for a
grant from factor.ca to do this thing. If I get it, I'll likely hunt
down a producer from Detroit (I live in Windsor, Canada). Any names
you can throw at me? (I'm on a budget)

Hey if you have that kind of cash why not just get yourself a laptop
and some software? Build your project at your convienience. Your
musician's will be able to give you the best advice about what they
want in tonalities.

You can always get someone to help you mix/master it later, probably
one of your musicians who has good recording experience (listen to
their mixes).

This is the 21st century dude.

When I lay down the final tracks. I don't want to be thinking about
production concerns. Especially when I do the vocals tracks, I'll
listen to some Bono/Freddy Mecury and put everything into the
performance. I'll be in another world.

I don't have a lot of cash, I'm just willing to make some sacrifices.
If I go broke and the disc falls flat I'll still feel like the
luckiest guy on the planet.
