Recording Studio Overview

In the past, the audio recording studio technology only consisted of 24 channel mixing desks, rack mount effects units, Akai samplers and lots of long cables. This was usually the scenario about a decade ago, if you wanted to create any form of music to establish your identity and style which you would then share with the public. Production was often limited, even a big financial investment of 15K for all the required equipment was not sufficient to come up with high quality music. Studio recording back then was difficult to deal with.

The bigger budget you have for recording, the higher the quality of the sound produced. With a bigger amount of money, you can buy equipment such as ten cheap compressors or just one having superior quality. This device can produce a major improvement in the sound of the music you’re trying to produce. The quality of the sound produced in recording studio London is nothing more than the sum total of all its components, plus the special effects that sound engineers and musicians integrate into it.

With these things in mind, we can conclude that each tune should be treated with utmost care, as a slight deviation in any of its components can exert a major impact on the sound quality it creates. If you’re trying to be too thrifty in producing sound recordings by resorting to using the cheapest desks, old compressors and mixers; it will definitely result in low quality and no class at all. Whatever happens, the life, energy and quality contained within your music was always more important than its commercial value or marketability.

With the passing of time however, studio recording has completely taken a new form. Recording can now be done in a box; yes, as simple as that. You can now produce musical recordings anytime and anywhere you want even in the comforts of your very own room. Although it’s completely different from a recording studio London equipped with buttons, knobs, and all sort of effects; the modern alternative of a recording studio London is all what it takes now to produce the type of music that you’ve always wanted to represent your musical identity. Also, you can be pressured by the mere appearance and environment of the professional recording studio London making you less able to optimize your ability to come up with superior quality sound recordings. Being more relaxed and comfortable with your environment while recording is an added advantage for you to furnish your music to the masterpiece you’ve always dreamed of having.

In a recording studio London, people would often bombard you with questions such as “how do these things work?”, “how do you know which buttons to use in each recording session?” Many of them would be amazed at how you manage to remember the different functions of these buttons, and how you mix them to create the desired effects. There are surely a lot of buttons and twiddly stuff to operate before coming up with a musical masterpiece. As the sound engineer/record producer, you need to make sure that everything falls into the right place. Singers, bands, DJ’s would be very much impressed and would look up to you on this kind of work.

But, how much more impressive can it get if instead of pressing and twiddling all sort of buttons and knobs in the traditional recording studio; all you do is seat in front of your PC and just operate your mouse and keyboard in coming up with the perfect sound quality? Some will probably say that it’s not enough and it’s so much less compared to traditional studio recording but you have to see and try it for yourself first before judging what it can offer. When your music has gained a place in charts and countdowns, you can definitely say that modern audio recording is a more cost-efficient method of recording.

How you achieve these goals entirely depend on you. With a wide variety of softsynths, sequencers, virtual studio technology plug-in and DSP cards made available over the market, you are guaranteed to be able to produce a high-end recording production without having to spend too much.

Hardware played a significant role in music production and recording as it was what has been always used in traditional recording studios. Now, with modern recording studio London technology, computer software is used instead. Some people argue which option is better but it really depends on your needs and preferences. If you are just starting out, and you have no established financial resources yet, it would best to take advantage of modern music recording software.

Having a modern professional recording studio London made of technologically advanced recording software enables you to come up with a production quality that can match, if not exceed that produced using hardware studio recording that would require you to spend some 100K. Surviving in the music industry requires that you consider cost-efficiency. If not, all your investments are likely to go to waste.

This guide is for everyone who would like to experience recording their own music characterized by high quality and low cost. A cheap recording method does not necessarily equate to cheap sound quality. In fact, with this low-cost modern recording technology, you can perform every single production technique that is also done with the traditional method of recording not to mention that software studio recording is constantly improving with each passing time. Sound production companies are continuously introducing new innovations in the VST and DirectX plug-in that they offer which can match their high-cost hardware counterparts. With these in mind, you definitely have to look no further and consider modern software studio recording.

So the next time you see someone recording music using a small computer you need not doubt the quality of music produced any longer. It is a very powerful tool that can even exceed the capability of sliders, knobs, synths, samplers, effect producers, limiters and distortion peddlers put together. The wonder that it can produce is limitless in such a way that if you’re given a chance to measure all of its capabilities, you will surely stand in awe and realize the unfathomable power of technology in sound recording.

The genres of songs that you can record include pop, hip-hop, hard style, RnB, electro, techno, hardcore and a lot more!

 

Tips on Optimizing Sound Quality on a Vocal Recording

When creating a voice over recording, the final product is usually nothing but the voice… all by itself… with nothing else to hide. Though there may be background music, no sort of musical accompaniment can hide whatever flaws come with the voice. The better the sound, the more professional it would be.

In traditional recording studios, expensive analog-to-digital converters and large condenser microphones are used. But for those who can’t afford to purchase expensive recording equipment can only use low-cost gear. That’s ok we will help you maximize the quality of your voice recording so that you can come up with the perfect sound!

So what will make a voice recording sound good? Basically, the voice should be clear, audible, has a sufficient volume and is free from unnecessary noise.

Now let’s discuss the recording tips one by one:

1. Make sure that your mouth’s distance from the microphone is 4-12 inches

This will ensure that your mouth is properly distanced from your mic, which in turn will make sure that the recorded voice is as clear and loud as possible but of course without producing unnecessary and unwanted sounds. You don’t have to worry, with computer recording technology we can easily see whether your voice is loud and clear enough. Your voice will simply produce wave forms from which we can determine the pitch and volume of your voice and see if it’s enough in optimizing sound quality. You may want to experiment with the microphone distance, until you come up with the ideal distance in which you can make the most of your voice quality.

 

2. Recording in Studio as Quiet as Possible

Although it’s quite not possible to come up with a fully silent and noise-free environment while recording, you can keep these unwanted sounds to a minimum; that is, the less noise, the better. Do everything within your capacity to minimize the noise around you. For instance, you can close all the doors of your recording room to keep out unwanted external noise. You can also keep the microphone far from the computer in such a way that the fan won’t be heard through the microphone. Making use of large pieces of cloth such as blankets can work in keeping out undesirable sounds. Make sure you don’t cover the computer vents as it can cause your pc to overheat. Choose a time of the day when environmental noise is kept to a minimum.

 

3. Make Use of Modern Recording Studio Techniques to Minimize Noise

Certain noise reduction techniques such as noise gates and noise reduction serve to edit sounds produced after recording.  Since it would often be inevitable that some noise will come with the recorded voice, you might want to consider taking advantage of these tools. Try the noise gate tool first. This tool’s function is to get rid of all the noise that occurred when there’s no voice. Those sounds that occurred while the voice is speaking or singing is allowed to get through. This works very well with not-so-loud noises such as that of a fan. Just make sure that it doesn’t make any part of the recording weird. Make sure that it all sounds natural, especially in parts where the detected noise is too loud; as a total silence following a part where some noise can be heard may sound unnatural and awkward.

If you feel that the noise gate tool is not enough, you might want to consider using the noise reduction tool. This makes the reduced noise sound kind of underwater. It can affect not just the non-voice parts but also the voice parts. It can make your recording sound weird and strange when overused so the solution is to choose the appropriate parts of the recording where this tool will be applied. The lesser the volume of the noise reduced, the less weird it will sound. You should make sure that the noise reduction all throughout the song will sound natural.

4. Squeeze your audio with a Recording Studio Compressor

Audio compression should be used with utmost caution, as too much of it will also adversely affect the quality of the audio. If correctly used, compression will enable the listener hear the softer parts as well as the louder parts without needing to frequently adjust the volume knob. A compressor will decrease the volume of some parts that exceed a specific volume level as desired. This allows you to adjust the loudness of your voice over in such a way that none of the parts are either too soft or too loud that eventually leads to audio distortion.

 

5. Use a Recording Studio Normalizer

The very last step would be to normalize the audio recording. This means raising the volume of the audio before reaching the point where the sound begins to be distorted. For instance, there’s a very loud part in your video where you belted a note; that part will show as the tallest wave form. Normalizing it would mean increasing the volume of the rest of the video up to the point before the tallest wave form reaches the side of the swim lane; thereby making sure that the recording’s volume is optimized.

If you consider these 5 tips in recording studios, you will definitely come up with the best vocal recording regardless of the microphone used. What’s good about these tips is that they don’t cost you anything. Try them and see how much they can enhance your sound.
