This is super vague but I remember a couple of years ago on this forum, someone posted a PDF or website that was a guide to recording. Tips and tricks from experience, down to the nitty gritty like having a specific place for musicians to put down their beer! Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Hmmm, my granny got her bell rung by a pickup truck! Sorry I cannot be more helpful. I'm a marsupial. And also I'm new here!
There is this might be useful, now that the possums have been relocated out of the baker-s oven into the treehouse: https://ehomerecordingstudio.com/home-recording-101/
Thanks Tim, I've come across that before and found it helpful. The guide I'm thinking about was like tips of the trade... I think it might even have been just a forum post, so maybe lost to the ether now,
Here's an excellent guide to recording and mixing.

oooh that might be it. definitely it matches the tone of the possibly mythological thing i remember!
[edit] yesss this is it! re the beer, lol: "Unless you are going to forbid drinks in the studio, you should make space for them in places where people are likely to be. The floor is a bad place, but is vastly better than on top of keyboards, mixing consoles, or rack gear. I like little cocktail tables with felt floor sliders on the bottom. They are inexpensive and movable and having a few of them makes it easy to be a fascist about saying that drinks are not allowed on any other surface, ever."
@3tdoan I don't know what microphone you'll be using, but there's this:

The designer is Australian but the microphones ship direct from China. Reputed to be very high quality. I have one of their mics, one of the more expensive ones, but it's a good mic.
The website is a little clunky, you have to find the guy's e-mail and e-mail him directly. You can get these mics off of Ebay, but I've heard it's cheaper just to contact this person via e-mail.
interesting, thanks!
