    London Recording Studios: Eternalizing Art since the 1900s

     

    Introduction

    A common misconception about recording studios is that they are for large organizations, and that individual people do not have the money, or ability to access them. This view may be accurate for some larger studios, but not for all. A recording studio is a place to record any type of creative flow that anyone perceives as art. Most of the time, owners of recording studios have a deep appreciation for audio art, and will record anything that they believe is creative, original, and valuable. This extends to all acts, known or unknown, small or large. One will find that every recording studio is different, and cater their services to suit the demands of large-scale orchestras, to individual solo artists.

    Famous London Recording Studios

    London is easily one of the most important cities in the world for producing contemporary music. Over the last century, recording studios have continued to spring up all across the city, working to spread artistic creativity to all corners of the globe. Some of the most famous London recording studios includes: Abby Road Studios, Apple Beam Recording Studios, the Chapel Studios, and Mews Production. Each of these famous London recording studios has their own specific recording method that makes it unique, and specializes their product in their own specific way.

    Mews Productions

    Of all the recording studios in London, Mews Production is possibly the one that comes at the greatest value. They were established in 1990, and since then they have strived to cater for the needs of all singers, songwriters and musicians. Mews production is professional musicians who truly care about delivering a high standard of service to all people, whether you are a master musician, or just beginning your musical career. They recognize that good quality music can be produced on all levels. Unlike many other established recording studios, Mews Productions covers a variety of styles ranging from pop, R&B, hip hop, dance, rock, blues, jazz, soul, dubstep, reggae, and much more. They also offer the same online services that Apple Beam studios offers. Their quality and range of service, affordable rates, and willingness to cater to all clients makes Mews Production the go-to place for singers and songwriters.

    Abbey Road

    Abbey Road Studios is possibly the most famous London recording studios. It has an unparalleled history of recording, and has worked with some of the world’s most legendary artists, producers, composers, and orchestras. It has been the centerpiece of the United Kingdom’s music industry for about 8 decades. It has repeatedly received awards for its musical engineering, high-quality acoustic rooms, and classical vintage equipment. In 2010, the British government granted it English Heritage Grade II list status, which would prevent the building from any type of major alterations. Their intention was to make the building a part of their history. Abby Road Studios is recording studio is an excellent studio for major record labels and musicians. Sadly, Small time musicians don’t have much of a chance landing a recording session here.

    Apple Beam

    Most famous London recording studios charge their client by how many hours they use their studio for. They will find whatever means possible to extend their client’s time in the studio in order to maximize their profit. Apple Beam Studios offers a unique selling point in this regard by offering part of the music production online. Their clients can send in a music sample online in order to better orient the studio in the direction that they would like their music to go. This cuts out the preliminary process of music production so that the time artists spend in Apple Beam studios will be reduced, and they can focus more on the actual recording part. Their devotion to customer service has led them to have the opportunity to work with major labels such as Sony, EMI, Island records and Nintendo, while their creed of ‘no job is too small’ allows them to work with individuals, and upcoming musicians or labels.

    Chapel Studios

    Chapel Studios offers one of the most technologically advanced recording systems in the entire world. This enables them to offer a wide variety of different services, including, but not limited to, high quality production, recording, mixing, voice-overs, video productions, overdubbing, etc. This allows them to deliver whatever their client’s desire. They are an excellent contemporary productions facility, and their range of client’s goes from major labels to solo artists.

    London Recording Studios: Home recordings vs Pro Studios

     

    If you’ve ever recorded at home, you’re undoubtedly familiar with this scenario: right in the middle of that soul-stirring vocal, someone in the next room flushes the toilet. This unexpected sonic layer isn’t noticed until you’re listening in playback, at which point you realize that the microphone wasn’t properly sound-proofed, or the angling was off, or that you really don’t have control over your own environment.

    Many artists, in an attempt to save money, will record music at home. They feel they can’t afford a proper London recording studio, and so they forgo the expense. Admittedly, home recording does have its benefits. You can do it whenever you feel like it, provided of course your flatmates, relatives, and pets are prepared to adhere to your “no silence” rule. If you’re lucky enough to live alone, you may be able to ensure a fairly quiet environment, but without a professional engineer or mixer with you, you must rely on your own skills entirely. While the creative process is one of self-expression, there is a point when feedback and opinion is helpful. Recording an entire song, let alone an album on your own is going to be a tremendous amount of work. You may be the type of multi-faceted person who is able to be a musician, critic, and engineer. But very few of us–okay, only one of us–is Sir Paul McCartney. And even he didn’t record at home, strictly speaking: he had a professional studio, with top of the line equipment, installed into his home.

    A professional London recording studio offers you everything you need. You don’t have to worry about soundproofing, or appropriate microphone set-up, or securing enough memory on your computer to store multiple sound files. In essence, a London recording studio takes the work out of working music, and allows you to focus on what you do best, which is creating. Additionally, a London recording studio has something you definitely won’t find in your own home: a team of professional sound engineers and producers.

    The value of sound engineers and producers can’t be overstated. Some of the most famous bands in the world achieved their greatest success when they finally left the garage and paired up with the world’s top producers and engineers. Producers Daniel Lanios and Brian Eno have worked with artists like U2, the Talking Heads, and Coldplay to help them take their sound to a level they would be unable to achieve on their own. Essentially, producers are like an additional member of the band whose entire role is to refine and perfect the sounds of each instrument, and crystallize the sonic texture. As a musician, you may want to achieve a certain effect with a particular song or an entire album. A producer is able to hear the music you are creating with “fresh ears,” and therefore can provide suggestions and solutions that you wouldn’t necessarily devise on your own. A London recording studio offers you the ability to collaborate with professional producers and find new ways of creating emotoinal, resonant pieces of work.

    The sound engineers to be found within a London recording studio, meanwhile, ensure that all of your instruments, including your voice, are recorded optimally. You will no longer experience the strange dips and blasts of home recording, and you also won’t have to spend hours in front of a computer, tediously editing sound tracks for consistency and the removal of unwanted noises. Plus, there’s the camaraderie of working with a group of people who not only love what they are doing, but also take a genuine interest in helping you create a work of art.

    Recording artists should not have to spend their energy working out the kinks of the recording process. Nor should they spend a fortune hiring professionals to help them do so. Mews Productions Studio has earned its reputation as the best and most affordable London recording studio by virtue of years of superior service and expertise. By creating an environment that is both friendly and professionally equipped, Mews Productions Studio takes the best out of home and studio recording and combines them into one. When you’re at Mews, you can stop worrying about the technical details and start realizing your vision without breaking the bank.
