Imagine A London Recording Studio To Live Your Music Fantasy

By Sonia MacOle


It is an understatement to say that London has been the breeding ground of many, many talented musicians. The music world would not be the same without iconic figures like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, just to name a few. Perhaps the wealth of extremely talented artists has created an environment where every one wants to at least play at the music game. Would be and up and coming musicians can find a recording studio and even become a music producer. Now everyone can play.

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.

There was a time when four guys with stringed instruments stood on the stage and harmonized. Truly, those were simpler times. Today it takes an entire band with various instruments, speakers, singers and a whole lot of technicians to have a concert. The same is true for recording music. Someone had the great idea of building fully equipped studios where all manner of artists and music lovers could book some time.

The recorded music undergoes varying amounts of mixing. An experienced mixer knows how to produce a clean mix to prevent the instruments being played from having a muddled sound. If there are four different instruments, with a good mixer a listener can distinguish the individual sounds. Mixing prevents what is called the muddying of the sounds, which means the sounds have been melded together and it is difficult to pick out one single instrument. With advances in technology and computers, online mixing can be done with the appropriate software.

Tracks that have been mixed are ready to be mastered. Mastering is a post production process, sort of like the final, final edits. Once the music has been mastered it is copied to a master server. This is how mastering got its name. Any reproductions of the music will come from the master. This process maintains the quality of the sound.

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.

Then there are other people who just want to experiment and have fun. There are accountants and lawyers and stay at home moms, with dreams of putting down some tracks. The studios in London are so popular for a reason. People just want to express themselves and have a great time doing it.

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
