Music question? RECORDING STUDIO & MAJOR LABEL recording artist how much does it!


Question: You should probably do some reading up. PRO TOOLS is one of the industry standards. go to a real studio they usually have a couple mediums to record to and Pro Tools or other programs that record to hard disk are going to be one of them. TAPE is too expensive at $300 bucks a reel and you can get sampling rates up to 192 with pro tools and other computer based DAW's (Digital Audio Workstation) other programs such as Logic are the same thing but Logic is mac based only. Pro Tools works on both macs and pcs. The other alternative is DAT(digital Audio Tape) such as the machines by alesis. the reason people use pro tools is that the quality can be set pretty high and you can move the projects from studio to studio alot easier than tape (which needs to be calibrated every time you use a different machine, and calibration is a rather long process, you have to degauss you machine, worry about headroom, run tones through, etc) and DAT (which the drives can be rather expensive)

Pro Tools is not crap. You may not like because they make you use their hardware but I can guarantee that all top notch studios have at least one workstation with the program running on it. You can do multiple takes, punch ins, editing much much easier than tape or DAT. It has evolved from when it was first running on apple IIe back in the day to the program it is now. it was bought out by avis a while ago and thats when they really started pushing the software.

You won't find many people recording solely to tape, and if they are you can guarantee that it will be about twice as expensive. It makes the sound warmer but the trade off is it takes much longer to record an album. You will not run into somebody in the audio recording realm who has not used pro tools at some point in there career unless they are the older generation and are clueless that the advantages of digital audio outweight the disadvantages.

50 to 100 $ an hour
listen, there are some good quality recorders out there to buy, i had an 8 track tascam portastudio and made a cd with it, it works well
studios cost alot because of the name, cut out the middle man

I've recorded in a real recording studio at my college. It costs $20 per hour. But for a major label, like Sony or Universal recording studios, it would cost at least $100. But many producers would charge in thousands (total) because of their name, rep, status, etc. Most producers use pro-tools, like the neptunes.

cut out the middle man. record your songs on a cd name address etc. ( hire a pro.singer or local band singing ). make a price range with local stores of their commission and sell it from there or around diffrent states.
