What is a studio?

A studio is a place where musicians/artists can get together and record feelings, expressions, or create a product.

What is a studio supposed to provide?

A comfortable experience that allows for creativity to flow with the physical options available for success is the studio responsibility.

Do I need a studio?

Studios are for those that wish to concentrate more on being a musician/artist than being an engineer/producer.
