Recording Studio or Home Studio?


Since the recent burst in technology, people have starting recording their own music from home. It is easy to understand why a person would do this. Why should anyone have to go pay a lot of money for studio time when it’s possible to do it from home? Recording and mixing music is easily accessible from home for just about anyone, but the benefits of getting profession service could be greater than going solo.

There are many reasons why one would want to record his or her music at home. Its cost efficient to record everything at home, but only if it is a long-term commitment.  A person would have to purchase the software to record and mix the music, alone with the equipment that is needed. There are less people to work with because it is a solo project. All the rights to the music would remain solely to the songwriter.
There are also many downsides to recording from home. For starters, most people are not professional recording and mixing engineers, and equipment/software has to be purchased to even record and mix. That bill can get pretty high and quick. Comments and feedback are very important in producing music. When recording alone at home, there are not many people around to give feedback and criticism. In order to ensure positive reactions from fans, one has to correct issues.

Recording in a studio can have its perks. Of course if a person uses a studio’s services, they will have to pay quite a bit of money. The good part about the studio is working with people who are professionally trained for these jobs. Recording studios have people that have studied music and have years of experience. They can help a person achieve their musical dream much quicker. The studios also have all the equipment and software that is needed. There are downsides too. The studio expenses can get pretty high for a big production. Also, the studio will most likely claim a percentage of the sales revenue and royalties.

Which is better to choose; studio recording or home recording? When it comes down to it, they both have advantages and disadvantages. If a person knows how to record and mix music professionally and can obtain the equipment necessary, then that person would be better off to record at home. If a person is not sure what he or she is doing, then it is best to go to the professionals. It all depends on the artist/songwriter.

  5. A movie reviewer will also need to be careful, not to reveal the complete plot, but yet reveal enough so that intrigue is created in the reader to watch the movie.
