The recording studio is the place where magic of music begins. In general a music studio has an area for creating recordings and a control room where sounds are recorded and modified. Music is produced in recording studios to attain the optimal sound. Isolation booths are well sound proofed to prevent any interference. Recording studio equipment includes microphones to amplify the sound, a multi-track recorder which allows the components of a song to be recorded separately and then layered, a mixing console to change the tone or level of music, a digital audio workstation to record sound and edit it, compressors, reverbs and equalizers to improve the quality.

Some people create home recording studios. To do this you need to sound proof the room. The equipment in home recording studios will be much the same as that required by a professional studio and can be bought or rented.

Next time you insert a CD into your player you will realise just how much has gone into producing that music.
