A Brief Overview Of Recording Studios Features

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 recording or music studio is a facility where sound mixing and capture can take place. The best recording and monitoring spaces are designed by a knowledgeable professional known as an acoustician. The goal of the physical space is to ensure the highest quality acoustic properties. The space is designed in a way that provides acoustic isolation, sound isolation or diffusion of sound. Reflected sound should be absorbed so that it doesn't interfere with the quality of the sound heard by the person listening to the recorded result.

Recording studios London customers need are designed for the sounds such as those of musicians and advertisers who need voice-over recording jobs. Animated features also need to be able to provide dialogue to the characters. Music backgrounds for various projects in television and movies are also necessary. The equipment and technology advances over the past few years help to make the quality of audio results more dependable.

There are two main spaces within studios. These are the live room and the control room. The performances where the artist or artists work is done in the live room. The performances can be vocal or instrumental. The control room is where the sound engineers and sometimes producers work. The equipment in the control room can be audio mixing consoles. For the past three decades, computers have replaced many of the audio mixing consoles.

The computer equipment has dedicated software suites which can manipulate and route sounds for either digital or analog recordings. Some studios also feature isolation booths in order to accommodate louder instruments such as electric guitars or drums. These booths prevent sounds from the more intense instruments from interfering with sounds coming from other instruments. Alternatively, the isolation booths provide rooms in which recording of vocals or some acoustic instruments.

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.

There is equipment which is found in nearly every facility. This includes the mixing console, recorder and microphones. Keyboards and drums are also common.

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.
