Recording Studio Design

By Clifton Seawright


A room is called as a recording studio when it is equipped with apparatus specially made for the making and chronicling of audio performances so that they may be kept for replications and reproductions at a later time. There are various types of studios in which recordings can be made.Some of these are said to be home studios which are of course built in a person's house and professional studios which have different specialties like pre-production, sampling and mixing down.

It is important to finalize the whole thing before starting on the recording studio design whichever of the above mentioned is being planned to be made. Because without a location issues, conclusive decision, budgeting, and matters of size would not be resolved.

A home studio, as how the name clearly states, is located in a person's house. In to two even smaller groups, these types of studios could be classified which are the so-called "semi-pro" and the "pro". When speaking of a semi-pro studio, the resources available in the latter consist of equipment which are good enough for making experimental materials and demos while still on a cost efficient budget. On the other hand, a home studio classified as "pro" means that the place is actually a professional studio, but is just privately owned. This would also conclude that in terms of the apparatus found in commercial pro studios, the studio also has and that recordings made in the latter are good enough for market consumption.

In contrast, professional studios, as previously stated, have different specialties like sampling, pre-production, and mixing down. Therefore, it must be considered that the recording studio design for a commercial studio would depend highly on its field of concentration. Of course, it is pre-recording of pre-production recording studios are dealing with. On the other hand, studios that focus on sampling would handle manipulating of complete musical scores with the use of a sampler. When it comes to mix-down studios, these are the ones designed for the remixing or making new versions of already finished audio tracks. This could be possible to be done when you are using different tools that help in the synchronization of different beats and recorders that would put all of these together. Other types of professional studios would include Sound to Picture studios, Radio, Speech and Drama studios, and Cutting studios. The first would be dealing with putting audio to edited video like movies and commercials. The second one is being created specifically for recording interviews and dramas. Whereas the third is specified for the relocation of material from a variety of sources to the final master disks.

Before you make a recording studio design, it is necessary to know what sort of facilities you would want it to have. Searching the right location as well would play a vital role in this endeavor. Furthermore, to decide whether the studio is to be commercial or personal should also be understood because the two have very different consequences which are related to them.Try to find out what those are in this article.
