The Recording Studio and Its Importance

Every time the evolution of music is discussed one important aspect gets left out most of the time: the studio where the songs were recorded. Studios are more than just rooms made of concrete slabs with recording equipment, their ambiance and location can make the difference between an average and a great song.

Recording studios are specially designed by acousticians to achieve the acoustic properties required for recording sound with precision and accuracy. They are generally comprised of three rooms: the studio room where the sound for the song is created, a control room where the recorded track is edited and mixed, and the machine room where noisier equipment that may interfere with the recording process is kept away from the main studio.

A good studio will have a vocal booth, often set up in a separate space from the main room to reduce the impact of background noise on a voice or instrument. It will also have a mixing desk where the track is edited and mixed together, as well as speakers to play it back through.

Studio equipment used to be big, heavy and expensive – now it is smaller and lighter with digital technology that has revolutionised audio. Tools like compression and EQ, which used to be sold as standalone hardware units are now built into your DAW software or are available as plugins.

A lot of people think they can get the same results at home but the truth is that unless you have a large budget, it will be much easier to take your song to the next level in a professional studio environment. Experienced producers or engineers have logged thousands of hours of recording in different styles and their insight could be the key to getting your song to go from good to great.
