Tips For Choosing Good New Orleans Recording Studios

By Lila Bryant


Choosing a good studio for your music or movie production is a very big step. Whether you are a solo artist or group, you go to studio to capture your ideas the best way possible. It actually does not matter whether you are a music writer looking to bring your musical skills to life from the written script or a band looking to build your name in the musical industry. All that matters is to be certain that the studio you intend to use will really work for your project. Below are few tips to help you identify good New Orleans recording studios.

Your number one consideration should be the experience level of the engineer working in the studio. And this is the leading factor for good reasons. An experienced engineer will offer you quality services faster than one who is less experienced. Your engineer will also have greater impact on the quality of the sounds and the cost of recording. It is also important that you choose an engineer with relevant experience.

The musical gear in use at the studio also matters a lot for the end product. No matter how experienced the producer and the engineer are, if they lack proper gear, they will not help you achieve your dream of unrivaled CD. You should also give preference to studios that do a lot of work in your genre of music.

The cost is also important. Of course this will vary from one studio to another and this explains why window shopping is crucial. After all, not all expensive studios are good. At the same time, you should also try to stay away from studios that are extremely cheap. This might be a sign of low quality services.

You must also consider the studios schedule. Be sure to ask about free dates when you can use the premise. Many studios will always ask for weeks or even months notice in advance. Such studios will also want deposit of at least fifty percent of the total charge. However, you need to be sure about the refund policy so that you can get your money back in case you change your mind.

You are likely to spend a lot of your time in the studio. As such, you must also be sure that it can accommodate your needs. The place should be big enough and also well laid out so that you and your band are comfortable in it.

Even after choosing the best studio possible, you also need to be part of the process. Nothing is as more satisfying than knowing that you had a hand in the production of your music. However, it is also important not to be overbearing.

The above tips are mostly meant for unsigned artists. If you are signed to label, your label will most likely make arrangements for you on the studio to use. Always start the search early enough.
