Default What clothes do you wear to record?

To keep potential noise to a minimum, what type of clothes do you generally record in? T-shirt and jeans?

Whatever I'm wearing that day! Which is most likely jeans and tshirt. I don't wear "noisy clothes" and of course avoid anything with metal (studs, sequins, buttons) that might scratch a guitar, which is why a tshirt is good - for covering the needed belt to hold my pants up!

Normal street clothes. Short sleeves or long sleeve's rolled up so the mic(s) don't pick up any rustling noise.

Whatever I'm wearing. The only thing I do when I record is take off my wedding ring...it can sometimes make a loud "clunk" during playing if I attack aggressively with a ring finger barre.

That's only when recording heavy metal, though, right? ( I can tell by the pointy bass guitar!)

Hi BD...

Whatever I'm wearing, usually cutoffs with sandals or socks & no shoes.

Footwear is the most important choice. For me, it must be Cuban Heels just like those four blokes from Liverpool.
