I would focus on how to use studio knowledge as an instrument for the song. Don't let the recording process take over. Know the boundaries. I hate over-produced music. So I always look at the recording studio as just another instrument. Use just what you need to capture the essence of the song. Anything more is unnecessary. That is when things become sterile, cold, and without soul. Not sure what the person above is talking about. I'm pretty sure he didn't read the question. The recording studio SHOULD be an instrument and nothing more.
