Record Studio Tours

Hola,

Today in my Mass Communications class we are taking online virtual tours of digital recording studios and comparing them with the current music industry. There are 4 studios on the tour list, the first being Blue Jay Recording Studios located in Carlisle, Massachusetts. It is a high class, high tech recording studio designed to be tranquil and placed out of the way regular foot traffic. Blue Jay Recording Studios is a mix of simplistic and modern design and has a very large floor plan. They have recorded artists like Yo-Yo Ma, Areosmith and Billy Joel. The next on the list is Soho Studio in London. They are an average sized studio located in England and they cater to comfort and quality. They have recorded artists like Akon, Kiley Minogue, and Cinematic Orchestra.
The third on our list for tours is Radio Ready Studio in Virginia Beach, VA. They are located on the beach and have great equipment to work with. Although it is not exactly a high class studio it has recorded for artists like, the Wu-Tang Clan, Universal Studios, and Def Jam. Last but not least on our tour is Pachyderm Recording Studio located in the woods of Cannon falls, Minnesota. The studio has many amenities which include a guest house, a pool, a sauna, over 5000 sq. ft. 5 bedrooms and a recording studio that has multi purpose rooms. They have recorded every one from Nirvana to Mudvayne. I would assume that I learned many new things about the recording industry including that not many studios are located in popular venues. most are of the beaten path.

Hope you found this helpful,


Brooke
