When you turn on your favorite music on the radio or listen to a song in a recording studio, what you’re hearing is the result of hours spent in a professional recording environment. The songwriters, musicians and sound technicians all work together to create a unique sound. The time spent recording is referred to as a session. Recording sessions have been around for a long time. They date back to the early 1900s, when Dame Nellie Melba recorded sessions on a wax drum that mechanically imprinted sound waves directly on the medium.
A recording studio is a room or rooms designed for audio recording and may be equipped with a wide variety of equipment and instruments. The space is designed by an acoustician to achieve the desired acoustic properties, including sound diffusion and low levels of reflective surfaces. The studio is also soundproofed to limit the transmission of noise from one room to another. Many studios feature a vocal booth, a small room for voice recording.
Most recording studios employ a lead producer who oversees all aspects of production. This includes music production, lyrics writing, session musician selection and booking and collaboration with the recording artist to ensure that their artistic vision is realized during the recording process. The producer helps the recording artist select musical arrangements and tempos, assists with instrument choices and decides what effects to use on electric instruments, such as guitars, and advises on which harmonies would best compliment each other.
