As musicians well know, studio time can be expensive.  How do you get the most of out of your studio time in order to reduce your expenses?  There are quite a few ways to accomplish this.

Firstly, you should go into the studio with an idea of what you want.  This means that you should do your experimenting with sound on your time.  Most artists use HP Pro Tools to experiment before they hit the studio.  Of course, you might have to change minor things once you get into the studio, but at least you will have a specific idea of what you want and how it should sound. In other words, have a plan.

When in the studio, stick to the agreed plan as much as possible.  Again, some flexibility is important to deal with issues as they arise.  Overall however, you should all know the plan and know what to do.  This helps to reduce stress too: even the most experienced musician can crumble under the pressure of having to finish up a mostly unfinished track within an hour because the next client has booked studio time.

Another important thing is to find a studio with good technical staff.  You need to find a producer who has some leadership skills, knows how to handle people, and is able to compromise well.  It is very true: the staff at the studio can make or break your studio session. They can create a lot of stress for you or they can actually help to decrease your stress. Some producers and sound engineers say that they are more psychologist than sound professional as it is their job to keep everyone happy while pushing the musician to get the most out of their studio time.  Truth be told, it is a very delicate situation and not everyone can do it correctly.

Once you do these things, you should be able to maximize your studio time in order to get the most out of your sessions.
