Harman explains how to make your own recording studio

Mexico. Most people carry an indoor musician, who dreams of having their own recording studio, but it is very likely that they do not know where to start. It may be that you want to become a music professional, or put together your band on the weekends. Harman Professional tells you what you need to make your dream come true. It does not matter if you are amateur or professional, the important thing is to have the necessary equipment to express your talent to the fullest.

Therefore, the first thing you need to define is what kind of project you want, Do you want to have a professional recording studio?, A booth to record voices? or, do you want to start your first steps as a music producer?, in other words, knowing what you want exactly will help you decide what equipment you will require.

Here are the points  to keep in mind according to Harman: 

You need to start at the heart of any type of studio, the console, so it is important to make the right decision. Harman Professional recommends a Soundcraft or Studer, equipment that offers you high flexibility in choosing communication protocols.

The next step is to have a good audio interface. One option is Lexicon or dbx, devices that allow sound to be played with the best quality. The interface market is the one that has shown the greatest growth in the field of the music industry, particularly in production. 

A basic element in the sound chain is the microphone. There are different options for needs of all kinds, but the most important thing is to verify that they offer fidelity and ability to respond to both low and high frequencies. AKG has one of the most extensive and complete catalogs in the industry. 

To listen to everything you've recorded, it's vital to have great monitors. JBL provides quality and innovation in all its audio equipment, these speakers have excellent properties to neatly perceive every detail of any production, Harman has the JBL brand with low and high frequency studio monitors. In studio headphones you must decide if you prefer an open or closed design. AKG presents you with the best option in all types of hearing aids. 

A tip for your project to be successful is to have a good installation to connect all the audio equipment to the same network, this is essential it is advisable to have good wiring, avoid joints in the extensions and maintain simple connections, as far as possible.

If your project is to create a booth, it is advisable to divide it into two parts: the first should be for the interpreter, and the second for the sound editor. Both must be completely isolated for the sound quality to be excellent. For this there are a wide variety of materials that absorb sound. 

The ideal is to consult with experts in acoustics because it is important NOT to confuse insulation with conditioning. Many times you do not have the necessary tools to make the correct measurement of the behavior of the sound in an enclosure, and wrong decisions are made forgetting that the acoustic control provides 75% of the sound that is perceived in the microphones.

Each person can design their recording studio as they see fit. You can start building yours with few elements, however it is good to know that you can always improve it if you want  more ambitious projects.

Do not despair if at first it looks a bit austere, it is important that you know that all recording studios are different. There is no one like it. Each space is designed to meet specific objectives and meet the needs of each user.
