Find A London Recording Studio To Live Your Music Fantasy

By Sonia MacOle


It is an understatement to say that London has been the breeding ground of many, many talented musicians. The music world would not be the same without iconic figures like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, just to name a few. Perhaps the wealth of extremely talented artists has created an environment where every one wants to at least play at the music game. Would be and up and coming musicians can find a recording studio and even become a music producer. Now everyone can play.

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.

Gone are the days when a singer with a guitar could cut a record. Music today is produced in every sense of the word. Today recorded music is mixed and mastered. The studio provides these services, which naturally require quality technical equipment and someone with the training and talent to use the equipment.

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 mixing it is time for mastering. This post production process will result in the final cut. The objective some say is to put some sparkle into the song. In other words, it is so clean and sharp that it shines. Once the edits have been made, the final cut is transferred on to a master server. To maintain the integrity of the sound all the reproductions of the music will come from this one cut on the master server.

Amateur musicians deeply appreciate the low cost and convenience of the studio. There are many talented amateurs. They may not be rich and famous, but this does not detract from their creativity and talent. It is nothing short of wonderful that musicians can produce their own music. Booking the time and renting the equipment at an affordable price may just result in some magical music.

Then there are other people who just want to experiment and have fun. There are accountants and lawyers and stay at home moms, with dreams of putting down some tracks. The studios in London are so popular for a reason. People just want to express themselves and have a great time doing it.

People who love music love it for the art. Maybe they will become rich and famous, or maybe not. Either scenario will not affect their feelings about the music of their choice. These studios are a boon to these artists. They do not need a record company to produce their work. For a few hundred pounds they can do it themselves. I:0:J
