To make good recordings on tape, minidisc or computers, careful positioning of the recording equipment and the performers is important.
Sometimes, more than one microphone will be needed.
Different instrumental or vocal parts are often recorded separately and put together later.
Recording studios are soundproofed so no unwanted sounds can be recorded.
Recorded sounds can be:
- processed by adding different effects (echo, reverb, etc)
- put together in different ways (sequenced)
