Choosing a Recording Studio for Your Project
Choosing a recording studio for your project is not merely a matter of looking for the studio that offers the lowest hourly rates. As an artist, you have to find a studio that will give you the perfect balance between affordability and sound quality.
So how should you go about choosing a recording studio for your project?
One of the first things you should do is to look up the nearest studios and compare the following factors:
· Equipment – They do not need to have every single kind of recording equipment in the world since you'll only need the basics in most cases. However, make sure that those that they have will produce release-quality recordings.
· Sound engineers – Find out the level of experience of their sound engineers. Remember, even the best equipment will just go to waste if your sound engineer is no good. An experienced sound engineer will be able to help you produce the best possible recording, as well as save you time since they know what they're doing. Of course, this will help lower costs, especially if you are paying the studio on hourly rates.
· Size – Obviously, you should find out a studio that will be able to accommodate everyone that needs to be there. Try as you may you just won't be able to fit in an entire orchestra in a small room. Just make sure you don't rent too big a studio as well to avoid wasting money.
While doing research, you might have missed some recording studios that is worth considering, so make sure you ask for recommendations from fellow downtown artists. Artists that play Soho should be able to give you feedback on the studios they've used in the area.
Once you have narrowed it down to a handful of promising studios, visit each studio to get a feel of the place. Do not settle for a studio that you do not feel comfortable in because it will affect your creativity and productivity level.
