When exploring your options for recording studios by US state, consider the following:
1. Find affordable hourly rates for studio time at US recording studios.
2. Look into full-service recording studios in the USA that have a dedicated, professional staff.
3. Set up small music recording studios on your company’s property.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Book sessions at an American recording studio
If you or your colleagues are comfortable in the studio, you may just need to rent a US music studio for blocks of time. Most recording studios in the United States offer sessions by the hour.
I recommend: Orange County, CA’s Gemini Studios offers music studio space that is accessible 24 hours a day and can be rented by the month. Read some of the recording studio’s testimonials to learn more. Audio Park Recording Studio has affordable hourly rates for digital and analog recording sessions.
Consider full-service music recording studios
Depending on the scope of your project, you may need music production professionals such as editors, producers and engineers to assist you during the recording process. There are several full-service United States music studios from which to choose.
I recommend: The Village is a well-established US recording studio that has had the likes of Aerosmith, Dolly Parton and The Beach Boys recording within its four walls. Blue Jay Recording Studio is a full-service analog studio with an experienced staff. Check out Paramount Recording as another full-service US music studio option.
Establish your own American recording studio
If you find yourself in need of American recording studio time on a regular basis, it may be more cost effective to set up a small recording studio in your office. You can find everything you need for your music studio online.
I recommend: Sweetwater is a great source for recording studio equipment. Check out zZounds.com for recording workstations, studio microphones and more.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • Many budgets won't allow for American recording studio time plus the fees charged by music production professionals to run the session. To save money, scout music schools for budding professionals to assist you during the recording process. They gain experience while you receive professional-level technical expertise.
- • Analog or digital?which is better? Chances are, you'll find strong supporters on both sides; but, the truth is, if the equipment is good, both analog and digital recordings will provide the quality you're looking for.
