Audio Studio
Recording your music in a professional audio studio has become more and more redundant as home set ups gain in power and musicians learn the art of music production. But, there is something that audio studios offer which many musicians tend to overlook.
For example, knowing in advance that you will be recording in a professional audio studio with a paid producer forces you to be ready. This means you are more likely to have the song written and as perfect as possible. It means you need to be well rehearsed and (crucially) it means you must complete the song within your available budget, which helps to reduce “paralysis from analysis”.
Musicians who produce their own music from home tend to overwork their music and produce a higher number of lower quality songs. In short, an audio studio promotes discipline when recording music.
So what about the producer, is it worth using a professional music producer or opting for the DIY route? Absolutely, you should use a professional wherever possible. Producing music is deceptive in that you can get a fairly good result by using standard audio technology, but the step up from “good” to "professional" takes years to master.
Years ago, the typical music producer worked alongside a mix engineer, tape operator, arranger and sound engineer. Nowadays he has to do it all himself. Just the mixing of a song can take many years to master.
Don't believe me? In 2009 legendary mix engineer Pete Hammond teamed up with Edge Ave and Apple Beam to develop several artists. Pete said that after 25 years of mixing at the highest level, he is still learning and improving.
The audio mixing makes a song “work”. It is the specific skills that an audio producer brings that make recording and audio studios worth the money, after all an audio recording will last forever.
