Imagine A London Recording Studio To Create Your Musical Fantasy

By Sonia MacOle


Imagine being a music producer in London. Your inspiration may come from the many talented artists that came to America during the British invasion of the 1960s. Very few music lovers would argue that the Beatles and the Rolling Stones changed music forever. It seems that influence will never fully dissipate. Now accomplished musicians and people who just love music can find a recording studio in London or in America and be their own music producer.

This dream is within financial reach. The cost of studio time is very affordable. You can book one hour for fifty pounds, which translates to approximately seventy five US dollars. There are price breaks for booking three, four or five hours. It will take a few hours or days of booked time for musicians and singers to walk away with a finished recording,

There was a time when a girl with a guitar would sit down and record a song. That is not the way it works anymore. Today music is produced with expensive equipment and people who know how to use it. The singer and the songwriter need technology to produce music. Luckily you do not need a contract with a record company to produce music. You just need to book a few hours in a studio and everything you need will be at your fingertips.

The recorded music undergoes varying amounts of mixing. An experienced mixer knows how to produce a clean mix to prevent the instruments being played from having a muddled sound. If there are four different instruments, with a good mixer a listener can distinguish the individual sounds. Mixing prevents what is called the muddying of the sounds, which means the sounds have been melded together and it is difficult to pick out one single instrument. With advances in technology and computers, online mixing can be done with the appropriate software.

Tracks that have been mixed are ready to be mastered. Mastering is a post production process, sort of like the final, final edits. Once the music has been mastered it is copied to a master server. This is how mastering got its name. Any reproductions of the music will come from the master. This process maintains the quality of the sound.

There are many amateur musicians who want to produce a recording. Amateurs can be quite talented. They just have not managed to make a living from their work. Nor do they have the expensive equipment or the trained staff to produce their music. The studio will provide all the equipment and services needed to produce their unique sounds.

Then there are other people who just want to experiment and have fun. There are accountants and lawyers and stay at home moms, with dreams of putting down some tracks. The studios in London are so popular for a reason. People just want to express themselves and have a great time doing it.

Music lovers and accomplished musicians are able to produce their own music thanks to these studios. They do not need a million dollar fully equipped studio, because now they can rent one. Not to mention the expertise of the staff technicians. No record company contract required. Go ahead. Live your dream and make your own kind of music. I:0:J
