Recording studios are soundproofed rooms that have been specially designed to achieve a particular acoustic effect. This usually includes diffusion, low levels of reflections and reverberation time that match the size of the ambient sounds.
In a typical recording studio, there is a control room, a live room and one or more small isolation booths. The control room is where the audio engineer records, edits and mixes the music produced in the live room. The isolation booths are used to isolate the drums, vocalists and guitar speakers from each other.
It is common for a studio to have an audio interface that converts the analog signal from each instrument and microphone to a digital signal and returns it back to analog sound on the monitors. A good quality interface costs around $150.
A large console is another classic piece of equipment in a recording studio. However, these days, computers have replaced these consoles as the primary sound recording and mixing hardware, with many digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software packages like Digidesign Pro Tools, Steinberg Nuendo, MOTU Digital Performer and Ableton Live being available at affordable prices.
Having musical instruments on hand is also essential, and it is best to have a selection of different instruments that you can use in a variety of ways. Guitars, bass, keyboards and synthesizers are all good choices.
A computer with a high-end processor, at least a dual-core, is essential to running music software. If you are going to mix a lot of tracks, a quad-core is recommended.
