Pro tip: I stopped cleaning up hiss with plugins and started recording my garage demos at 3am
For two years I ran every tape transfer through a noise gate and a de-hisser, and my drummer kept saying the songs sounded like they were played in a closet. Then a buddy who does location sound for weddings in Sacramento showed me that my fridge, my neighbor's AC unit, and the freeway three blocks over were all bleeding into the room at 40 dB, and no plugin was ever going to touch that. Now I track between 2 and 5am with everything unplugged, and the raw takes actually sound like a band, so what's the weirdest time slot you've found for quiet tracking?

Recorded vocals in my Honda at the Emeryville IKEA lot at 4am, dead silent til the fork-lifts fired up.
