Often overlooked in the end result, Recording Studios play the most vital part in almost every type of media production. So, what are they used for, and what are the different types of recording studios?
What a Recording Studio Is
First off, let’s get to terms with what a Recording Studio is in general. They are specialized facilities for sound recording, mixing, mastering and audio production of instrumental or vocal musical performances, spoken words, and other sounds. Almost every sound you hear on any form of audio-visual media has most likely originated in, or has been perfected at a studio.
A Studio in general can range in size from small Home Studios to Mid-Level Studios that can accommodate a few Artists and Instruments all the way to large Studios that are big enough to accommodate Orchestras. Furthermore, these can also be subdivided into numerous categories and if one delves into the variety on offer, it would land up being a never-ending affair, so to keep things short, we are going to lay focus on the quintessential Voiceover Recording Studio.
Voiceover and Music Recording Studios cover a large entourage of capabilities that include – Commercial (TVC, Radio, Digital etc), Jingles & Music Compositions, Animation, Narration, Audio Books, Video Games, E-Learning, Health and Wellness, Corporate, Promos, Trailers, Announcements and more. These Studios generally consist of a couple of rooms where all the work takes place.
What Rooms Are In a Recording Studio?
The Live Room is where the Voiceover artist is isolated and speaks into a high-quality microphone. It is also used to play instruments which are either miked up or hardwired and the signals are then sent to the mixing board.
The control room is where the audio engineers and producers mix and master the mic and instrument signals with a mixing console or DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) with the help of high-end studio monitor speakers or headphones.
