There Is A London Recording Studio To Live Your Musical Fantasy

By Sonia MacOle


Recording in the music industry today is literally a big production. It is hard to imagine what music would sound like today without the genius body of work produced by the Beatles. Maybe the magnitude of talent that changed music during the so called British invasion continues to inspire. There is no better way to celebrate this inspiration than with a recording studio in London.

The cost of studio time is quite affordable. The going rate is fifty pounds an hour. This translates into around seventy five US dollars. The more hours booked, the lower the hourly rate becomes. The studios want their customers to walk away with a finished record. Listening to their own music could mean a return visit to make more music.

There was a time when a girl with a guitar would sit down and record a song. That is not the way it works anymore. Today music is produced with expensive equipment and people who know how to use it. The singer and the songwriter need technology to produce music. Luckily you do not need a contract with a record company to produce music. You just need to book a few hours in a studio and everything you need will be at your fingertips.

Recorded songs go through many processes before being finalized. The two main processes are mixing and mastering. Mixing requires a combination of equipment and trained talent to work well. The mixer takes raw cuts and mixes them together. The purpose is to create one clear sound comprised of many identifiable clear sounds. Without careful mixing, all the blended voices and instruments can become somewhat muddy and unclear. Sometimes computers and software are used for the process and it can be done online. More often it takes a roomful of equipment to mix the tracks.

After the tracks have been mixed, the mastering takes place. To put it simply, mastering is the art of putting on the finishing touches and making the sound ready for reproduction. This post production process is called mastering because the final cut is cleaned up to the nth degree and then transferred to a master server. All the reproductions of the music will be taken off this master, so it has to be the absolute best it can be.

Many amateur musicians spend their lives without ever hitting it big. This fact in no way diminishes the talent and devotion these artists have to their music. The opportunity to lay down some tracks and produce their own music is like a gift to them. They greatly appreciate being able to rent a studio room and all the necessary staff and equipment.

Other people just appreciate music. They do not necessarily have talent to perform, they just love everything about music. A day making music in a studio and an actual record to remember that day, makes for a great time and fun way to express themselves.

Music lovers and accomplished musicians are able to produce their own music thanks to these studios. They do not need a million dollar fully equipped studio, because now they can rent one. Not to mention the expertise of the staff technicians. No record company contract required. Go ahead. Live your dream and make your own kind of music. I:0:J
