When choosing a recording studio, there’s more to it than Googling “recording studios near me.” Before you book a studio to record your masterpiece, here are a few other things to consider. They apply for every kind of project — analog recording or digital, loud music or quiet, full band or solo artist.

You wrote some great songs. You booked time at your favorite recording studio. But your plans got upended by Covid-19. Don’t worry, you still have options — like recording and mixing at home. Before you do, just ask yourself these 5 questions.

Just because recording studios are closed to clients because of the Covid-19 outbreak doesn’t mean they’re closed for business. Online mixing is a great way to get pro-sounding results from your home recordings.
