A recording studio is a facility for sound recording. ==Design and equipment== Recording studios generally consist of at least two rooms: the studio itself, where the sound for the recording is created, and the control room, where the sound from the studio is recorded and manipulated. Recording studios are carefully designed so that they have good acoustics and that there is good isolation between the rooms. Equipment found in a recording studio commonly includes: * Mixing console * Multitrack Recording * Microphones * Reference monitors, which are loudspeakers with a flat frequency response And may also include: * Digital Audio Workstation * Music workstation * Outboard Effects, such as audio level compression, reverberation, or equalization ==History== Early recording studios often lacked isolation booths, baffles, and sometimes even speakers. Designed for live recording of an entire band or performance, they attempted rather to group musicians and singers than to separate them. (Modern sound stages sometimes use this approach for large film score projects today.) With the introduction of multi-track recording, it became possible to record instruments and singers separately and at different times on different tracks on tape. Therefore, the emphasis shifted to isolation and sound-proofing. In the 1960s, recordings were analog recordings made using ¼″ or ½″ eight-track magnetic tape. By the early 1970s, recordings progressed to using 1;″ or 2;″ 16- or 32-track equipment. Most contemporary recording studios now use digital recording equipment, and the number of tracks is limited only by the capacity of the mixing console or computer. General purpose computers are assuming a larger role in the recording process, being able to replace the mixing consoles, Multitrack Recording, synthesizers, samplers and sound effects devices. A computer thusly outfitted is called a DAW, Digital Audio Workstation. Popular software packages for recording studios include Pro Tools, Cubase, Rosegarden, Sonar and Logic Audio. There are also dedicated computers which integrate a recorder, preamps, effects, and a mixing console; these devices are also called DAWs. A small, personal recording studio is sometimes called a project studio. Such studios often cater to specific needs of an individual artist, or are used as a non-commercial hobby. The first modern project studios came into being during the late 1980s, with the advent of affordable Multitrack Recording recorders, synthesizers and microphones. The phenomenon has flourished with falling prices, MIDI equipment, and inexpensive hard disk recorder solutions. ==Famous studios== Famous recording studios include: * Sun Studios * Abbey Road Studios * Electric Lady Studios * Rolling Stones Mobile Studio * D&D Studios * Top Shelf * Bomb Factory * The Hit Factory * Sound Factory [http://www.sunsetsound.com/] (Mary Poppins to Van Halen) * Wisseloord Studios [http://www.wisseloord.nl] (ELO, Elton John, The Police) * Emerald Studios [http://www.emeraldentertainment.com/studios/studios.shtml] (Bon Jovi, Reba McEntire) ==Famous production facilities== Record labels with famous in-house recording facilities include: * Capitol Records * A&M Records Recording studios
Linking from "Outboard Effects" to "Sound Effects" doesn't seem quite right. Sound effects are audio elements that make up the soundtracks of movies and such -- that is, they are the end result sounds themselves. "Outboard Effects" on the other hand refer to audio signal processing, and specific effects such as Audio level compression, phaser, flanging, equalization, reverb, delay, and so on. The "Sound Effects" page does mention some of these when talking about ''processing'' sound effects, I believe they may deserve their own category. Just an idea. I may get around to writing this up myself, but I don't have enough time right now. :''User:PenguiN42 17:07, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)''
