A recording studio is a space equipped with the necessary equipment to record music. Musicians and bands may choose to record in a studio for the control it offers over their environment, as well as to achieve a particular sound. Studio recordings can be used for commercial purposes such as for music albums, or for voice-overs in advertising and film.
Most modern computers and laptops have enough processing power for basic recording, but a faster processor, more memory and a larger hard drive will provide greater flexibility. For advanced music production, digital audio workstation (DAW) software is required. DAWs enable musicians and producers to manipulate their sound using a number of features, such as adjusting equalization and adding effects.
For example, a studio could be fitted with an echo chamber designed to sweeten vocals without the noise of natural reverb. The sound from the chamber would be mixed in with the main signal from a microphone and added to the final master recording. This technique is still employed in many recording studios today, especially the larger ones owned by media companies like EMI and RCA.
Whether a large, luxurious space with enough room for an orchestra or a small home studio set up for producing beats and singing, the first step is to decide what type of music you want to create. This will dictate how much equipment you need to have in your recording studio and the size of the studio itself. It’s also important to consider what your budget is, as recording studios can range from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands.
