A recording studio is a room where a group of people gathers to create a musical recording. A recording studio is used to record singers, instrumental musicians (e.g., piano, electric guitar) or ensembles such as an orchestra. Additionally, a recording studio may be used to record voice-over artists for advertising or dialogue replacement in film, television or animation and Foley, which are sound effects.
An important consideration when setting up a recording studio is the acoustics of the space and how it responds to sounds. This involves both room treatment (the use of absorption and diffusion materials on the surfaces of the room) and soundproofing.
Often, a recording studio will contain a “live room” where instrumentalists or singers perform and a control room where audio engineers and record producers operate professional audio mixing consoles or computer-based software suites to mix, manipulate (e.g., by adjusting the equalization and adding effects) and route the sound for analog or digital recording. In addition, smaller rooms known as isolation booths are present for loud instruments like drums and electric guitar stacks to prevent the sound from bleeding into microphones intended for other instruments.
Hubris can be the downfall of many aspiring musicians, but studio etiquette is essential to keeping a project on track. This is especially true when working with seasoned producers who can offer valuable feedback to help the artist reach their goal. While it can be challenging to listen to constructive criticism, this will ultimately make the finished product better and more likely to find an audience.
