For those interested in creating their own audiobook recording studio, the process can seem daunting. However, with a few simple items and some knowledge of what needs to be done, creating an audiobook recording studio is easier.
The first step is to choose a space for the studio. Ideally, this area should have minimal background noise and reverberation. It should also have enough space for multiple people to move around without being cramped or uncomfortable. Once the location has been determined, soundproofing can be added if necessary. This may include acoustic foam panels on walls and ceilings and thick curtains over windows and doors to minimize outside noises from entering the room.
The next step is deciding what equipment will be needed to record the audio book. A computer with basic audio editing software such as Audacity or Adobe Audition is necessary to edit and mix audio files once they are recorded in the studio. A microphone suited for voice recordings should also be purchased along with any other accessories such as stands or windscreens, needed to ensure optimal sound quality when recording voiceover lines in the studio.
