Imagine A London Recording Studio To Create Your Music Dream

By Sonia MacOle


Imagine being a music producer in London. Your inspiration may come from the many talented artists that came to America during the British invasion of the 1960s. Very few music lovers would argue that the Beatles and the Rolling Stones changed music forever. It seems that influence will never fully dissipate. Now accomplished musicians and people who just love music can find a recording studio in London or in America and be their own music producer.

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.

Music today goes through the processes of mixing and mastering. A recording or the same song recorded on different tracks are mixed together to create one finished product. The object is to refine the sounds of the singer or singers and the instruments in such a way that everything is clear. There is an art to this process. After tracks have been mixed by an expert, a listener can discern the sound that each instrument and each voice makes. Oddly enough, mixing in a way separates sounds.

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 musicians alike are flocking to the studios for serious artistic endeavors or just to have fun. Either way, this is a wonderful creative outlet that can be enjoyed by just about anyone. You do not need a contract with a professional records company to make some music. I:0:J
