Find A London Recording Studio To Live Your Music Dream

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 starts around fifty pounds for one hour. For Americans, this amount equals approximately seventy six United States dollars, subject to changes in the exchange rate. The hourly rate decreases with the number of hours booked. The studios like customers to book longer sessions and have a finished product.

There was a time when four guys with stringed instruments stood on the stage and harmonized. Truly, those were simpler times. Today it takes an entire band with various instruments, speakers, singers and a whole lot of technicians to have a concert. The same is true for recording music. Someone had the great idea of building fully equipped studios where all manner of artists and music lovers could book some time.

The recorded music undergoes varying amounts of mixing. An experienced mixer knows how to produce a clean mix to prevent the instruments being played from having a muddled sound. If there are four different instruments, with a good mixer a listener can distinguish the individual sounds. Mixing prevents what is called the muddying of the sounds, which means the sounds have been melded together and it is difficult to pick out one single instrument. With advances in technology and computers, online mixing can be done with the appropriate software.

Tracks that have been mixed are ready to be mastered. Mastering is a post production process, sort of like the final, final edits. Once the music has been mastered it is copied to a master server. This is how mastering got its name. Any reproductions of the music will come from the master. This process maintains the quality of the sound.

There are many amateur musicians who want to produce a recording. Amateurs can be quite talented. They just have not managed to make a living from their work. Nor do they have the expensive equipment or the trained staff to produce their music. The studio will provide all the equipment and services needed to produce their unique sounds.

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.

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
