Recording Studio Design Now

By Barton Niziolek


A room can be considered to be a recording room once it is equipped with apparatus specifically made for the chronicling and making of audio performances in order that they may be kept for replications and reproductions at a later time. There are different kinds of studios in which one can make recordings. Some of which are professional studios which have different specialties like pre-production, sampling and mixing down and home studios which are of course built in a person's house.

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

A home studio, as how the name clearly states, is located in a person's house. These types of studios can be placed into classifications in to two even smaller groups which are the "semi-pro" and the "pro". When we talk about a semi-pro studio, the available resources in the latter would include equipment that are good enough for making demos and experimental materials while staying 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. This means 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. Studios which are focusing on sampling, on the other hand, would handle manipulating of complete musical scores with the use of a sampler. In terms of mix-down studios, these are the ones which are designed for the making new versions or remixing of already finished audio tracks. This can actually be done with the use of different tools which will 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 one would deal with putting audio to videos which are edited like movies and commercials. The second is made particularly for recording dramas and interviews. While the third is made specifically for the relocation of material from a variety of sources to the final master disks.

It is important to know what sort of facilities you would want it to have before making a recording studio design. To find the right location would also play a vital role in this endeavor. In addition, it should also be understood whether the studio is to be commercial or personal because the two have very differing consequences related to them. In this article, you will find out what those are.
