Definition
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in providing the facilities and technical expertise for sound recording in a studio. Establishments in this industry may provide audio production or postproduction services for producing master recordings, and may provide audio services for film, television, and video productions. The services allow for artists to book a recording studio and often the studio provides the equipment necessary for the production of a sound recording. Often artists meet with the studio production team and a pre-recording meeting takes place before any sound recording occurs. After the recording has taken place studios also offer post-production services to fine tune music recordings.
