Guidelines To The Best New Orleans Recording Studios

By Lila Bryant


While choosing a recording studio may seem like a straight forward process, it is definitely not especially for the upcoming artist. The natural transition from live sound to a solid and set stone recording usually seem to be unexpected serious benchmark to many. And to make matters even worse, the rapid diffusion of home recording is giving artists many options to choose from and as such, most of them get confused on how to go about this essential stage of their career. Below are factors to consider if you want the best New Orleans recording studios.

Your number one consideration should be the experience level of the engineer working in the studio. And this is the leading factor for good reasons. An experienced engineer will offer you quality services faster than one who is less experienced. Your engineer will also have greater impact on the quality of the sounds and the cost of recording. It is also important that you choose an engineer with relevant experience.

The musical gear in use at the studio also matters a lot for the end product. No matter how experienced the producer and the engineer are, if they lack proper gear, they will not help you achieve your dream of unrivaled CD. You should also give preference to studios that do a lot of work in your genre of music.

The cost is also important. Of course this will vary from one studio to another and this explains why window shopping is crucial. After all, not all expensive studios are good. At the same time, you should also try to stay away from studios that are extremely cheap. This might be a sign of low quality services.

You should also ask for work samples as well as referrals. Do not just pick a studio that you have found over the internet without first visiting it and meeting with some of its most recent customers. Also be sure to ask for samples of recorded work and references. Talk to people who have recorded there to see if they recommend the place.

Physical location of the studio also matters. You definitely do not want a studio where you will have to travel for hours to access unless there is none nearby. It will be costly on you for nothing to record your music in a studio that is far away from your residence.

Most studios will not allow you to come with your engineer or producer. However, if a studio allows you to bring your experienced engineer, this will be an added advantage. A good studio will also offer editing and mastering services aside from recording.

The above tips are mostly meant for unsigned artists. If you are signed to label, your label will most likely make arrangements for you on the studio to use. Always start the search early enough.
