A recording studio is a facility for sound recording. Recording studios generally consist of at least two rooms: the studio itself, where the sound for the recording is created, and the control room, where the sound from the studio is recorded and manipulated.

Recording studios are carefully designed so that they have good acoustics and that there is good sound insulation between the two rooms.

Equipment found in a recording studio includes:

• Mixing console
• Multitrack recorder
• Microphone
• Loudspeaker
• Sampler
• Outboard Effects
