What To Look For When Selecting A Recording Studio

By Joseph A. Johnson


The place where you record your music is just as important as the lyrics you write or the backing track you are singing or rapping to. This choice can bring about the difference as to whether you are going to be taken as a serious musician or just another joker. In order to end up with a serious record, you should know what to look for when selecting a recording studio.

A list of all equipment available in the studio matters a lot. However good the engineer or technicians may be, they can only do as much as the equipment can allow them. The primary equipment includes Pro Tools, Waves plugins and professional monitoring system.

In addition to quality equipment, there should be professional technicians who are experienced in working with many genres. The engineers and equipment are the secret behind the music quality. In the same manner, the room should also have all the basic modifications.



The second tip is to get a demo CD or other work of artists that have been completed in the same studio. This can help you understand if the final product is going to come out as envisioned. For even better experience, getting opinions of the artists who are currently recording or worked there in the past can be very helpful as they have firsthand experience.

Privacy is an issue that is of primary concern. It is often annoying to have a room full of idlers or people unknown to you when in recording session. The situation can be even worse when you discover that some of these people are actually trying to steal your lyrics. Other bad experiences are when you are interrupted by rappers asking to put in a verse during the session.

The rate you are to be charged per hour must also be put in consideration. This should reflect the quality you are going to get in terms of experienced engineers and high quality equipment. Other hidden charges like extra mixing if any must also be known in well in advance to avoid being caught by surprise. Low cost is one of the advantages of working in recording studios in Phoenix.

Lastly, you need to be part of the process from the start to finish. This includes being in constant communication with music producers and engineers. This will make you find a team that enjoys your music and have experience in your genre which can be a great boost on your part.

These tips are very important for artists currently not signed to a recording label given that those already signed can leave the job to their label. If you are in the other category, then this is the secret you need for a great hit at an affordable budget.
