What You Need For a Recording Studio

Every time you put on your favorite song or turn up the volume on your radio, a lot of work has gone into its creation. That three-minute blast of audio is the result of songwriters, musicians, sound technicians and music producers spending a great deal of time in a recording studio, working to achieve that distinctive and appealing sound.

The basic ingredients for a recording studio are the room in which the recordings are made (often called a live room), the control room in which sounds are recorded and manipulated, and a machine room to keep noise-producing equipment from interfering with the recorded sound. These rooms must be carefully designed to provide the acoustical properties that are required for good sound recordings.

A number of different equipment items are needed for a recording studio, from microphones that are suitable for everything from close vocals to banging snare drums, to high-quality monitor speakers. Recording software, such as a digital audio workstation (DAW), is also essential. These programs let the user mix, edit and manipulate audio files on a computer screen and are the basis for many professional audio productions.

Other necessary equipment is an audio interface and a pair of monitors, both of which can be found for relatively modest prices. A high-quality interface converts analog sound into digital signals for processing by the computer, and turns the digital signals back into analog output on the speakers. Monitors are used to listen to the recorded signal and provide feedback to the performer in the live room, helping him or her to make necessary adjustments to the performance.
