My father got kidneystones. I occasionally do too. Yeah, they hurt.
But I’ve managed to reduce their frequency by learning to drink water like a fish. Not cranberry juice, not soda, tea, coffee, milk, or energy drinks.
Water.
Lucky for me, the upside is I rarely get mouth clicks on my recordings.
See, the magic is not drinking a lot of water while you’re in the studio recording (it kinda helps, but….). The magic is drinking a lot of water. Always. In other words: be hydrated.
There are generally accepted health benefits for this daily ritual anyway, so why not just adopt this advice and begin today? I keep a 2-and-a-half gallon spigotted dispenser of distilled water on a shelf in my studio all the time. It’s one of the smartest things I ever did.
