Why You Should Record In A Professional or Home Studio

If you want to make your career as music artist then this is a must-read article for you.
Most of the time talented artists spend money on everything else for their music EXCEPT for studio time and they record on their home computers with the microphone that came with their PC. Why do they do so? The answer is that many artists do not realize the importance of a good vocal mix.

So, why a great vocal mix is very important to your success as a music artist?

I am here to answer. I am listing 3 key reasons why you must put a lot of emphasis on your vocal mix:

Why Is A Great Vocal Mix Important?

1. If your vocal recording sounds low quality then your music will not go anywhere. No store, radio or clubs will be willing to play or sell your song unless the mix is at a very high level.
2. Your sound quality needs to be excellent as its a direct expression of you. People should be amazed when the hear your voice. You want them to associate you with great quality.
3. If your mix is horrible then you can’t hide it. If something is not right then human ear has an ingenious way to detect it. People will be able to tell you if you recorded at home on a cheap microphone even if they are not music-savvy.

I am enlisting some of the reasons that you should be recording either in a professional studio or in a good home studio:

Proper Studio Setups Provide Optimal Recording Environments

When you record at your home on a cheap microphone then it will be likely that you are in a room that has not been treated. Proper and good studios have vocal booths which have been set up to provide optimal sound quality. These are soundproof, and keep extra noises out. They are made to capture your voice, and nothing else.

Good Studios Have The Best Equipment and Software
It is possible that you don’t have quality hardware and software if you are recording at home. Most of the musical instruments like Microphones and cables, room treatment items, powerful computers and recording software cost a lot of money. But these all are already available at recording studio and you may spend $100-$200 or more a hour or so to record your song and get benefits of thousands upon thousands of dollars of equipment which will be run by engineers who know exactly how to use it, and quickly at that.

Good Studios Have Good Sound Engineers
If you are having all of the professional recording equipment that a studio has and you think you are ready to record a hit then you might be wrong if you don’t know how to use the equipment. In case if you know how to use then do you have a highly trained ear and hundreds or thousands of hours of mixing experience?
By paying $100-$200 a hour you pay at a studio is not only for the amazing equipment, but for the person doing the work as well.
