A recording studio is a room or set of rooms where music is recorded for later playback on devices such as radios and digital music players. There are several different kinds of recording studios, but the type of equipment needed will depend on the project at hand. A song lyricist who has plans to forge a career as a professional musician will probably need more extensive recording facilities than someone who just wants to record a demo track to share with friends or family.
Traditionally, a studio has been thought of as a soundproofed complex with a live room (for instruments and vocals) and a control room for recording, editing, mixing and mastering the sounds produced in the live and vocal rooms. This view of a recording studio reached its heyday in the late 60s when FM radio surpassed AM in audience size and the era of stereo became mainstream.
The large studios of this era had specially designed, large-acoustic spaces to accommodate full orchestras and other big musical ensembles. These spaces created a rich acoustic signature which could be used to add reverberation and other special effects to the recordings. The sound engineers of this period also used proprietary audio processing devices to enhance the sounds of their recordings. These were typically made by specialist electronics companies and often included the famous Pultec equalizer.
Modern studios are more likely to be run on a computer using software that lets you record multiple tracks at once and mix them down to one or more files, which can then be burned onto disc – either an LP or a CD. Many studios also sell or rent out equipment for live performances.
