A recording studio is a specialized facility for the recording of instrumental or vocal musical performances and other sounds. These facilities range in size from a small in-home project studio large enough for a singer-guitarist to a large building that can accommodate a full orchestra. Recording studios are carefully designed by an acoustician or audio engineer to achieve acoustical properties that are optimum for recordings. They usually consist of two main rooms: the recording room where the music is performed, and a control room where the sound from the recording is played back, manipulated and mixed.
Recording studios must be adequately soundproofed to prevent noise from the surrounding street and roads from being picked up by microphones. They must also be equipped with special equipment to provide a sound quality that meets the expectations of musicians and listeners. The most important equipment in a recording studio is the microphone, which is used to capture sound. Other necessary equipment includes a mixing console, which is used to control the volume, frequency and tone of a recording; and a series of amplifiers to provide varying degrees of power for different instruments.
To start a recording studio, you will need to make an initial investment in equipment. According to Thumbtack, a professional studio session typically costs $25 per hour, though you may need to spend more to add technical services like sound editing and post-production. You can get the equipment you need through a private distributor or from a major music store. In addition, you can earn a certification in recording or audio production techniques through a school, such as the Berklee College of Music.
