A Look At Some Recording Studio Advantages

By Dan Smith


For many musicians and other professionals who need quality recording equipment for projects, are not ready to invest in the full equipment and space requirements needed for top tier results, there is a sensible solution available. Rather than to pay the sums required for an individual use recording studio space, you may want to consider leasing or renting a fully equipped facility when sporadic use is required.

A space where recording can be completed, such as a music studio, also is able to offer sound mixing and manipulation of the sounds. The professionals who have the knowledge to design top sound capture and monitoring locations are known as acousticians. These pros create spaces which have the best properties for capture of acoustics. The acoustic authorities ensure that the highest level of sound properties is designed and implemented. The design takes advantage of modern materials to provide sound diffusion, isolation and acoustic precision. Elimination of reflected sound is a factor in quality recordings.

There are several groups and individuals who will commonly need the facilities of a location for creating audio recordings. A recording studio London locale is often retained to record advertising messages such as voice-overs, musicians, both vocal and instrumental and dialogue replacement for animated presentations. Background music is recorded to tie to television and movie productions. A constant evolution of the equipment used to capture audio performance is noted, ensuring improved accuracy and clarity.

Typically, a studio of this type will have a room known as the live room, where the actual performance take place. The studio might have space for vocalists or for instrumentalists. The second major space is known as the control room. In the control room, sound engineers, as well as producers will be located and will operate professional audio mixing consoles. Since 1980, computers have taken the place of mixing consoles in many studios.

For the past several decades, computer software is more likely to be used in the precise manipulation and routing of sounds during recordings. In some instances, the studio will make use of isolation booths to balance instruments which are loud or powerful. Instruments can be segregated to avoid drums and electric guitars from overwhelming other musical or instrumental sounds.

The live room will have additional features to add to the quality of the recordings. The surfaces of the music studio London room are equipped with sound diffusion materials, as well as materials which help to absorb sounds, rather than cause the sound waves to be bounced back into the rooms. Modern technology has helped to create these materials on walls, floors and even the ceilings of the rooms. Attention is also paid to the dimensions of the space in order prevent returning sound waves. Soundproofing can prevent outside noises from interfering with the recording.

Attention to the equipment which is commonly found in studios is another aspect to be considered for the best acoustics. Some of the most common equipment includes the mixing console, a multi-track recorder and microphones. A keyboard, acoustic drum kit and reference monitors are also usually available to users of the space.

Other equipment which may be found in a studio London locale includes an "On Air" light, a music work station and a digital workstation. Equalizers, compressors and reverbs are also part of the available equipment.
