How big is a recording studio?

Answer 1

A studio can be any size really. A computer and a closet can be a decent recording studio for something like hip-hop. For larger projects obviously you will need larger space. If you go to one of the multi-million dollar studios in LA, you will have one studio that houses a bunch of rooms in it. So at the same time they can be recording a bunch of different things throughout the entire facility. Smaller studios are usually one or two rooms. Layouts will vary from studio to studio. Some owners may want a large live room over a second mixing room. Or they may have a console in the back with just a vocal booth to do mixing and overdubs. It all really depends on the facility. I've been in very large, and very small. As long as it is built correctly, size really doesn't matter (thats what she said).
