Whether you’re a singer-songwriter with dreams of launching an international career or a producer looking to create the perfect sound for your musical projects, you’ll likely need to record in a professional recording studio at some point. These spaces feature top-of-the-line microphones, mixing consoles and outboard gear – plus professional audio engineers who can help you achieve the exact sound you’re after.
Generally, a recording studio contains two rooms: the “studio” or “live room” with microphones and mic stands for instrumentalists or vocalists; and a control room where audio engineers (sometimes with producers) operate a professional audio mixing console and various electronic music equipment. In addition, large studios often have a smaller room designed specifically for voice recording and called a vocal booth. They also have a machine room for noisy equipment like power amplifiers and drum kits that is kept away from the studio’s microphones.
From the Grecian seaside to the Brazilian mountains to the Arctic Circle’s edge, the settings of these far-flung studios have had a profound impact on the artists who have recorded there. From a bucolic farmhouse to a space decked out with esoteric decor and gothic skulls, these unique spaces have transformed the creative outlook of musicians including ABBA, Bob Dylan and the Beatles.
When you decide to open a recording studio, it’s important to register your business as a legal entity. This will protect you from personal liability should the business fail and simplify bookkeeping, tax filings and other business administrative tasks. You’ll also need to choose a name for the business and make sure it meets your state’s requirements.
