The trouble is finding the right recording studio that meets your needs. Here are some tips for choosing a good recording studio once you've narrowed them down!1. Make sure they have good equipment and technology.
Some low-budget recording studios may be using cheap equipment. While this is generally okay if you have a budget to keep to, it's important to make sure that the studio still has high-quality gear and is able to keep up with advancements in technology.
A quick tip is to look at the recording studio's website - they usually have an "equipment list" detailing the technology they use.
You can also call ahead of your booking and confirm if they have any specific equipment you may need for your recording.
2. Look at their past work and clientele.
A lot of recording studios have a portfolio or "artist roster" on their website, showcasing musicians and bands they've worked with in the past.
Any studio would take this opportunity to drop some big industry names if they have worked with them, but even smaller local bands can give insight into the studio's sound and style.
You can also take a listen to their past work on streaming platforms such as Spotify or Soundcloud.
3. Location and atmosphere of the studio.
Before you make a decision, consider the location and atmosphere of the recording studio. Some studios may be in bustling areas full of distractive noise while others have a more relaxed environment that could lead to creativity.
If this aspect is important to you or if you know will be investing quite a bit of money, visit the potential studio ahead of time.
4. Make sure they have a good reputation.
This is where word of mouth (and reviews) comes in handy - ask around in your local music scene if anyone has had any experiences with the recording studios you are considering.
You can also check online reviews on websites such as Google and Yelp, although take them with a grain of salt as some may be biased.
Most importantly, trust your gut - if something about the recording studio or their services seems off to you, it's probably best to keep looking.
