These come from the June 2009 Larry Jordan newsletter who got them from Ric Viers, author of The Sound Effects Bible.
Thou Shalt Have a Pre-Roll and Post-Roll of Two Seconds on Each Recording.
Thou Shalt Record More Than You Need.
Thou Shalt Slate Every Take with as Much Information as Possible.
Thou Shalt Check Thy Levels Often.
Thou Shalt Listen to Thy Work by Always Wearing Headphones.
Thou Shalt Eliminate All Background Noise.
Thou Shalt Not Interrupt a Take.
Thou Shalt Point the Microphone at the Sound.
Thou Shalt Check Thy Equipment Before Going Into the Field.
Thou Shalt Remember the Copyright Laws to Keep Them Unbroken.
Many of these are actually good for any kind of production such as 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, and 10.
