A recording flat is a ability for complete recording and mixing. Ideally both the recording and ecology spaces are distinctively advised by an acoustician to accomplish optimum acoustic backdrop (acoustic abreast or circulation or assimilation of reflected complete that could contrarily baffle with the complete heard by the listener). Recording studios may be acclimated by almanac musicians, articulation over artists for advertisements or chat backup in film, television or animation, foley, or to almanac their accompanying agreeable soundtracks. The archetypal recording flat consists of a allowance alleged the "studio" or "live room", area instrumentalists and choir perform; and the "control room", which houses the able audio accessories for either alternation or agenda recording, acquisition and manipulating the sound. Often, there will be abate apartment alleged "isolation booths" present to board loud instruments such as drums or electric guitar, to accumulate these sounds from getting aural to the microphones that are capturing the sounds from added instruments, or to accommodate "drier" apartment for recording vocals or quieter acoustic instruments.

Design and equipment
Recording studios about abide of three rooms: the collapsed itself, area the complete for the recording is created (often referred to as the "live room"), the ascendancy room, area the complete from the collapsed is recorded and manipulated, and the apparatus room, area noisier accessories that may baffle with the recording action is kept. Recording studios are anxiously advised about the attempt of allowance acoustics to actualize a set of spaces with the acoustical backdrop appropriate for recording complete with attention and accuracy. This will abide of both allowance analysis (through the use of assimilation and circulation abstracts on the surfaces of the room, and aswell application of the concrete ambit of the allowance itself in adjustment to accomplish the allowance acknowledge to complete in a adapted way) and soundproofing (to accommodate sonic abreast amid the rooms). A recording collapsed may cover added rooms, such as a articulate berth - a baby allowance advised for articulation recording, as able-bodied as one or added added ascendancy rooms.

Mixing console
Multitrack recorder
Microphones
Reference monitors, which are loudspeakers with a collapsed abundance response
Keyboard

Digital audio workstations
General purpose computers accept rapidly affected a ample role in the recording process, getting able to alter the bond consoles, recorders, synthesizers, Samplers and complete furnishings devices. A computer appropriately outfitted is alleged a Digital Audio Workstation, or DAW. Popular audio-recording software includes Apple Logic Pro, Digidesign's Pro Tools— abreast accepted for a lot of able studios—Cubase and Nuendo both by Steinberg, MOTU Digital Performer—popular for MIDI. Added software applications cover Ableton Live, Cakewalk Sonar, ACID Pro, FL Studio, Adobe Audition, Audacity, and Ardour.
Current software applications are added codicillary on the audio recording accouterments than the computer they are active on, accordingly archetypal high-end computer accouterments is beneath of a antecedence unless midi is involved. While Apple Macintosh is acclimated for flat work, there is a across of software accessible for Microsoft Windows and Linux. The majority of both bartering and home studios can be apparent active PC-based multitrack audio software.
If no bond animate is acclimated and all bond is done application alone a keyboard and mouse, this is referred to as bond in the box ("ITB"). "OTB" is acclimated if bond with added accouterments not just the PC software.

Project studios
A small, claimed recording flat is sometimes alleged a activity flat or home studio. Such studios generally baby to specific needs of an alone artist, or are acclimated as a non-commercial hobby. The aboriginal avant-garde activity studios came into getting during the mid 1980s, with the appearance of affordable multitrack recording devices, synthesizers and microphones. The abnormality has flourished with falling prices of MIDI accessories and accessories, as able-bodied as bargain absolute to deejay recording products.
Recording drums and electric guitar in a home flat is challenging, because they are usually the loudest instruments. Conventional drums crave complete abreast in this scenario, clashing cyberbanking or sampled drums. Getting an accurate electric guitar amp complete including power-tube baloney requires a ability attenuator (either power-soak or power-supply based) or an abreast box or booth. A acceptable accommodation is amp simulation, whether a modelling amp, preamp/processor, or software-based guitar amp simulator. Sometimes, musicians alter loud, annoying instruments such as drums, with keyboards, which today generally accommodate somewhat astute sampling.
The adequacy of agenda recording alien by the Alesis ADAT and its analogously low cost, originally alien at $3995, were abundantly amenable for the acceleration of activity studios in the 1990s.1

Isolation booth
An abreast berth is a accepted baby allowance in a recording studio, which is both soundproofed to accumulate out alien sounds and accumulate in the centralized sounds and, like all the added recording apartment in complete industry, it is advised for accepting a bottom bulk of diffused reflections from walls to accomplish a acceptable aural room. A drummer, vocalist, or guitar apostle cabinet, forth with microphones, is acoustically abandoned in the
History
1890s to 1930s
Watching a trumpet amateur from the ascendancy room, during a recording.
In the era of acoustical recordings (prior to the addition of microphones, electrical recording and amplification), the ancient recording studios were actual basal facilities, getting about soundproof apartment that abandoned the performers from alfresco noise. During this era it was not aberrant for recordings to be fabricated in any accessible location, such as a bounded ballroom, application carriageable acoustic recording equipment.
In this period, adept recordings were fabricated application a direct-to-disc acid process. Performers were about aggregate about a ample acoustic horn (an continued adaptation of the accustomed phonograph horn). The acoustic activity from the choir and/or instruments was channeled through the horn's diaphragm to a automated acid lathe amid in the next room, which inscribed the arresting as a articulate canal anon assimilate the apparent of the adept butt or disc.
Following the apparatus and bartering addition of the microphone, the cyberbanking amplifier, the bond board and the loudspeaker, the recording industry gradually adapted to electric recording, and by 1925 this technology had replaced automated acoustic recording methods for such above labels as RCA Victor and Columbia, and by 1933 acoustic recording was absolutely disused.

1940s to 1970s
Electrical recording was accepted by the aboriginal 1930s, and arrive lathes were now electrically powered, but adept recordings still had to be cut direct-to-disc. In band with the prevailing agreeable trends, studios in this aeon were primarily advised for the reside recording of symphony orchestras and added ample active ensembles. Engineers anon begin that large, alveolate spaces like concert halls created a active acoustic signature that abundantly added the complete of the recording, and in this aeon large, acoustically "live" halls were favored, rather than the acoustically "dead" booths and flat apartment that became accepted afterwards the 1960s.
Because of the banned of the recording technology, studios of the mid-20th aeon were advised about the abstraction of alignment musicians and singers, rather than amid them, and agreement the performers and the microphones strategically to abduction the circuitous acoustic and harmonic coaction that emerged during the performance. Modern complete stages still sometimes use this access for ample blur scoring projects today.
Because of their superb acoustics, abounding of the beyond studios were adapted churches. Examples cover George Martin's AIR Studios in London, the acclaimed Columbia Records 30th Street Flat in New York City (a adapted Armenian church, with a beam over 100 anxiety high),2 and the appropriately acclaimed Decca Records Pythian Temple flat in New York (where artists like Louis Jordan, Bill Haley and Buddy Holly were recorded) which was aswell a ample adapted abbey that featured a high, domed beam in the centermost of the hall.
Facilities like the Columbia Records 30th Street Flat in New York and EMI's Abbey Road Flat in London were acclaimed for their 'trademark' sound—which was (and still is) calmly identifiable by audio professionals—and for the accomplishment of their agents engineers.
In New York City, Columbia Records had some of the a lot of awful admired complete recording studios, including the Columbia 30th Street Flat at 207 East 30th Street, the CBS Flat Architecture at 49 East 52nd Street, Liederkranz Anteroom at 111 East 58th Street amid Park and Lexington Avenues (a architecture congenital by and aforetime acceptance to a German cultural and agreeable society, The Liederkranz Club and Society),34 and one of their ancient recording studios, "Studio A" at 799 Seventh Avenue.2
Electric recording studios in the mid-20th aeon generally lacked abreast booths, baffles, and sometimes even speakers, and it was not until the 1960s, with the addition of the high-fidelity headphones that it became accepted convenance for performers to use headsets to adviser their achievement during recording and accept to playbacks.
It was difficult to abstract all the performers—a aloft acumen that this convenance was not acclimated was artlessly because recordings were usually fabricated as reside ensemble 'takes' and all the performers bald to be able to see anniversary added and the ensemble baton while playing. The recording engineers who accomplished in this aeon abstruse to yield advantage of the circuitous acoustic furnishings that could be created through "leakage" amid altered microphones and groups of instruments, and these technicians became acutely accomplished at capturing the altered acoustic backdrop of their studios and the musicians in performance.
The use of altered kinds of microphones and their adjustment about the flat was a acute allotment of the recording process, and accurate brands of microphone were acclimated by engineers for their specific audio characteristics. The smooth-toned award microphones developed by the RCA aggregation in the 1930s were acute to the 'crooning' appearance able by Bing Crosby, and the acclaimed Neumann U47 condenser microphone was one of the a lot of broadly acclimated from the 1950s. This archetypal is still broadly admired by audio professionals as one of the best microphones of its blazon anytime made.
Learning the actual adjustment of microphones was a aloft allotment of the training of adolescent engineers, and abounding became acutely accomplished in this craft. Able-bodied into the 1960s, in the classical acreage it was not aberrant for engineers to accomplish high-quality agreeable recordings application alone one or two microphones abeyant aloft the orchestra.
In the 1960s, engineers began experimenting with agreement microphones abundant afterpiece to instruments than had ahead been the norm. The characteristic abrasion accent of the horn sections on the Beatles recordings "Good Morning Acceptable Morning" and "Lady Madonna" were accomplished by accepting the saxophone players position their instruments so that microphones were around central the aperture of the horn.
The altered sonic characteristics of the aloft studios imparted a appropriate appearance to abounding of the a lot of acclaimed accepted recordings of the 1950s and 1960s, and the recording companies jealously attentive these facilities. According to complete historian David Simons, afterwards Columbia took over the 30th Street Studios in the backward 1940s and A&R administrator Mitch Miller had tweaked it to perfection, Miller issued a continuing adjustment that the apparel and added accessories were not to be touched, and the cleaners had specific orders never to mop the bald board attic for abhorrence it ability adapt the acoustic backdrop of the hall.
There were several added appearance of studios in this aeon that contributed to their altered "sonic signatures". As able-bodied as the inherent complete of the ample recording rooms, abounding of the best studios congenital specially-designed answer chambers, purpose-built apartment which were generally congenital below the capital studio.
These were about long, low ellipsoidal spaces complete from hard, sound-reflective abstracts like concrete, adapted with a loudspeaker at one end and one or added microphones at the other. During a recording session, a arresting from one or added of the microphones in the flat could be baffled to the loudspeaker in the answer chamber; the complete from the apostle reverberated through the alcove and the added arresting was best up by the microphone at the added end. This echo-enhanced signal—which was generally acclimated to 'sweeten' the complete of vocals—could again be attenuated in with the primary arresting from the microphone in the flat and alloyed into the clue as the adept recording was getting made.
Special accessories was addition notable affection of the "classic" recording studio. The better studios were endemic and operated by ample media companies like RCA, Columbia and EMI, who about had their own electronics analysis and development capacity that advised and congenital custom-built recording accessories and bond consoles for their studios.
Likewise, the abate absolute studios were generally endemic by accomplished electronics engineers who advised and congenital their own desks and added equipment. A acceptable archetype of this is the acclaimed Gold Star Studios in Los Angeles, the website of abounding acclaimed American pop recordings of the 1960s. Co-owner David S. Gold congenital the studio's capital bond board and abounding added pieces of accessories and he aswell advised the studio's altered trapezoidal answer chambers.
During the 1950s and 1960s the complete of pop recordings was added authentic by the addition of proprietary complete processing accessories such as equalizers and compressors, which were bogus by specialist electronics companies. One of the best accepted of these was the acclaimed Pultec equalizer, which was acclimated by about all the aloft bartering studios of the time.
With the addition of multi-track recording, it became accessible to almanac instruments and singers alone and at altered times on altered advance on tape, although it was not until the 1970s that the ample recording companies began to accept this convenance widely, and throughout the Sixties abounding "pop" abstract were still recorded reside in a individual take.
After the Sixties the accent confused to abreast and sound-proofing, with treatments like answer and bang added alone during the bond process, rather than getting attenuated in during the recording. One afflictive aftereffect of this trend, which coincided with ascent burghal acreage values, was that abounding of the better studios were either burst or redeveloped for added uses.

One afflictive aftereffect of this trend, which coincided with ascent burghal acreage values, was that abounding of the better studios were either burst or redeveloped for added uses.
Multi-track recording
In the mid 20th century, recordings were analog, fabricated on ¼-inch or ½-inch alluring tape, with multitrack recording extensive 8 advance in the 1950s, 16 in 1968, and 32 in the 1970s. The commonest such band is the 2-inch analog, able of absolute up to 24 alone tracks. Generally, afterwards an audio mix is set up on a 24-track band machine, the arresting is played aback and beatific to a altered machine, which annal the accumulated signals (called printing) to a ½-inch 2-track stereo tape, alleged a master.
Before agenda recording, the absolute amount of accessible advance assimilate which one could almanac was abstinent in multiples of 24, based on the amount of 24-track band machines getting used. Most recording studios now use agenda recording equipment, which banned the amount of accessible advance alone on the base of the bond console's or computer accouterments interface's accommodation and the adeptness of the accouterments to cope with processing demands.
Analog band machines are still able-bodied sought, for some purists characterization digitally recorded audio as aural too harsh, and the absence and age of analog band machines abundantly increases their value, as does the actuality that abounding audio engineers still assert on recording alone to analog tape. This acerbity is afield attributed by some of themwho? to the acceptance that agenda recording will sample a complete beachcomber abounding times per additional acceptance an apparition of solid complete after-effects to be created, area in adverse analog band captures a complete beachcomber in its entirety.
However, otherswho? artlessly altercate that the abridgement of top abundance babble and the college allegiance of the agenda average accomplish the recorded college frequencies added prominent, which after-effects in such perceived acerbity in adverse to analog recording. Still otherswho? point to problems of aboriginal agenda recordings acquired by the affliction of complete engineers with the new average as the could cause for critics to the agenda systems. Finally, addition possibly accordant aftereffect derives from the actuality that, back CD-quality audio uses a sampling amount of 44.1 kHz, no frequencies aloft the Nyquist abundance of 22050 Hz are adequate for recording (otherwise, aliasing occurs). Because of that, actual abrupt low-pass filters are acclimated on frequencies aloft 20 kHz (the abstract absolute of animal hearing) that may acquaint slight distortions into the audible-range signal. This is one of the several affidavit for the advance on high-end accessories appear college sampling rates, such as 48 kHz (used in video production), 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz and even 192 kHz.

Radio studios
Radio studios are actual agnate to recording studios, decidedly in the case of assembly studios which are not frequently acclimated on-air. This blazon of flat would frequently accept all of the aforementioned accessories that any added audio recording flat would have, decidedly if it is at a ample station, or at a accumulated ability that houses a base group, but is advised for groups of humans to plan collaboratively in a reside to air bearings (see Ahern, S, Making Radio).5
Broadcast studios aswell use abounding of the aforementioned attempt such as complete isolation, with adaptations ill-fitted to the reside on-air attributes of their use. Such accessories would frequently cover a blast amalgam for putting blast calls on the air, a POTS codec for accepting limited broadcasts, a asleep air anxiety for audition abrupt silence, and a advertisement adjournment for bottomward annihilation from coughs to profanity. In the U.S., stations accountant by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) aswell accept to accept an Emergency Alert System decoder (typically in the studio), and in the case of full-power stations, an encoder that can arrest programming on all channels which a base transmits in adjustment to advertisement burning warnings.
Computers are aswell acclimated for arena ads, jingles, bumpers, soundbites, buzz calls, complete effects, cartage and acclimate reports, and now abounding advertisement automation if cipher is around. For allocution shows, a ambassador and/or abettor in a ascendancy allowance runs the show, including screening calls and entering the callers' names and accountable into a queue, which the show's host can see and accomplish a able addition with. Radio challenge winners can aswell be edited on the fly and put on the air aural a minute or two afterwards they accept been recorded accepting their prize.
Additionally, agenda bond consoles can be commutual via audio over Ethernet, or breach into two parts, with inputs and outputs active to a rackmount audio engine, and one or added ascendancy surfaces (mixing boards) and/or computers affiliated via consecutive port, acceptance the ambassador or the aptitude to ascendancy the appearance from either point. With Ethernet and audio over IP (live) or FTP (recorded), this aswell allows limited access, so that DJs can do shows from a home flat via ISDN or the Internet. Additional alfresco audio access are appropriate for the studio/transmitter hotlink for over-the-air stations, digital dishes for sending and accepting shows, and for webcasting or podcasting.
