Obviously you should record with fresh strings, but how long are those strings optimally fresh?
I'm in the process of tracking for an upcoming release. I restrung and have tracked 3 songs so far, with about 5 hours of playing time on the strings. I want to make sure I'm sending good DIs to the mixer.
I was assuming after 10 hours of playing time they will start to dull, which means I can get another song or 2 from this set, but I wanted to hear from other's experiences. What's the optimal amount of time to use one set of strings?
