5 Things to Consider Before Renting the
Recording Studio
2

• Researching recording studios Boca Raton before
  renting is essential because it will have an
  impact on your whole project. An engineer,
  location, software, gear as well as studio
  reputation matter a lot. You have quite a tough
  task to find the studio which fits your needs and
  money. Here are some important points which you
  should consider before hiring out a recording
  studio.

What do you know about an engineer?

• You need a flexible and highly skilled
  professional who is confident in his/her choices,
  creative, open to innovations and is able to make
  a perfect mix. This expert must fast and
  effectively make a great record and quickly react
  to unexpected issues.

4
Money issue

• You should find out whether recording studios
  Boca Raton bill hourly and what is involved in
  this rate. Besides, ask if you can arrive a
  little bit earlier to set up the gear. Does is
  counted as studio time or is it free? How does
  the studio resolve issues during recording (for
  example, computer problems)? Is it also included
  in the bill?

5
Studio location matters

• Is it too far from the city? Or does it located
  in the middle of busy center with no access to
  parking space? Make sure all members of your band
  can arrive at the studio right on time. Dont
  waste precious time of an engineer as well as
  yours.

6
High-quality sound

• Make sure that Palm Beach recording studio has
  all conditions that match your needs. There
  should be a big live room with great acoustics
  for an orchestra, a small equipped room for a
  solo singer, an isolation room for loud
  instruments. Pay attention the control room as
  well as the monitoring system and what sound
  quality do they have.

7
Check feedbacks

• Ask what previous users or recording studio
  services think about the studio. Also, ask an
  engineer to show you a list of past projects.
  Which artists have recorded in this studio? Can
  you get in touch with them and ask for their
  opinion? Do you know people who can help you to
  get a discount?

8
Studio insurance

• If youre recording the whole album, ensure that
  studios in West Palm Beach have insurance and
  your gear will be secured.

9
What backline does the studio have?

• If you have a band or need to use some house
  equipment, find out whether the studio can
  provide with different amps and cabinets to make
  your tracks sound awesome. A wide library of
  virtual instruments and keyboards also can add
  something fantastic to your record.

10
Whats about DAW?

• DAW means digital audio workstation. It defines
  whether your tracks will be transferable to other
  formats. If you want to continue working with
  your project, ensure that you can easily get
  access to a DAW.

11
Find out about studio microphones

• If mastering services have a great selection of
  mics, your project will sound more diversely. The
  point is that a type of mics an engineer will
  choose to use defines how your final record will
  sound.

12
Rehearsal is a key to success

• Arrange your song in advance. Spend a few days
  rehearsing your material and only after that come
  to the studio being prepared and ready to get the
  perfect clear sound.

13
Take backups

• Bring extra drum heads, extra pairs of sticks,
  drum keys, blank CDs, and DVDs etc. A lot of
  studios have all these things but if you want to
  save your money, be prudent. Also, dont forget
  to bring some food and water!

14
Be respectful

• The studio is not your property so respect the
  studios space, equipment, an engineer and other
  recording staff, their time and policies. Learn
  about policies concerning alcohol, tobacco, and
  other things. Be professional in the studio, have
  a party outside.

15
Be positive

• Having a positive attitude is essential. Dont
  let some sad things upset you. Encourage your
  bandmates and motivate them to work hard. The
  final results are worth it.

16
Dont invite your friends to the studio

• Leave your friends, fans, girlfriends or
  boyfriends at home so you can concentrate on the
  recording and dont distract. Bring only your
  bandmates and working musicians whose help you
  need during the process.

17
Dont be late

• Respect an engineers time. No matter when youll
  arrive if an engineer is already in the studio,
  then youre paying for recording time despite
  when you actually come.

18
Be strategic

• Tell your drummer to arrive earlier to set up the
  instrument. It takes much longer than loading in
  and setting up stuff such as guitar amps. Spend
  your recording time and money on audio mastering
  services wisely!

19
Recording and mixing

• Dont mix on the same day after recording because
  youll be too exhausted. You must have a clear
  mind and not tired ears to work with a record.
