Why It's Better to Record in a Professional Studio

Your Music Sounds Better in a Professional Recording Studio

There’s no way to write this that will change the simple fact that with a recording studio at your disposal you’ll have better gear, better engineers, and a smoother experience than you would at home or on your own.

With everyone being able to produce to an extent, you’ll get a lot of music that sounds the same. With a professional studio that has been uniquely curated by professionals, you’ll achieve a unique sound and create something you love all at once. It’s just better.

Your Music Gets Better in a Recording Studio Environment

If you go to a good recording studio and work with good engineers, you’ll soon find out that making music is much more than the beginning process of sitting down in your bedroom and writing something on an acoustic guitar, and recording as-is.

You’ll be able to pick more musical minds to move your song from good to great (like if you record at ModernTone). Your songs will get better, change structure, transform lyrically and sonically. Collaboration is at the heart of great records, and to make them you need a team behind you that can lift you to your greatest sound while having fun too.

At ModernTone we also have access to a ton of studio musicians who can play drums, guitar, bass, back-up vocals, piano, strings, and even horns on your tracks. So really, when you’re in a professional East Bay recording studio like ModernTone, your tracks will stand up even taller than they already do.

Sound Quality Will Improve

Nobody wants their recording to sound bad in the car or in the AirPods, or in the headphones, or anywhere. Just based on the equipment that will be available to you, you’re going to get a better sound.

When you record professionally, trained audio engineers are eagle-eared about every aspect of your recording from breaths to buzzing, to “that thing that doesn’t sound quite right” and far beyond that.

If your music sounds bad, whether that’s too thin of a mix or you’re balancing everything wrong in GarageBand – all of those worries disappear in a professional recording studio.

You’ll Perform Better

Something about being in a studio makes you bring your A game. When you want your music to feel more polished, you’ll probably rise to the occasion.

Most producers will drive you to get the sound that you’re both envisioning by creating a guitar tone and play style that benefits both you as a player and the sound on the recording.

You’ll also be able to learn tricks that you wouldn’t have discovered on your own during the recording process. At ModernTone, we’re with you every step of the way during your sessions.

Your Music Will Sound Its Best on Spotify, Other Streaming Services

With the volume of music being uploaded to streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, you have to be thinking “How can I get my music heard?” Well, the first place you have to start is writing good songs, but the next step could quite possibly be getting your sound up to par.

A lot of playlist curators will skip songs based on low audio or production quality. In some cases, it can be the make or break between your music being discovered by new audiences, and it being passed by. The ear is a fickle thing!
