There are so many recording studios in Brooklyn, you might not even know where to start. We've done the research for you, though: Bushwick is where it's at. The best part about it? It's got not only plenty of recording studios but also old-school record stores to get inspiration from and even sample some of those pieces for your next production. If you're looking for something cheaper and laid-back, check out some of the studios that feature simple setups along Gowanus Expressway, but with one turn onto the waterfront you can find plenty of decent options in Greenwood Heights that require more space, like the high-end studios for recording albums for bands and musicians.

The recording studio equipment you need to start recording is completely dependent on the type of music you want to record. If you are only planning on recording one or two instruments at a time, then you may be able to get away with using a couple of microphones with pop filters, monitor speakers, high-quality headphones, and a decent laptop or computer with a digital audio workstation and an audio interface. However, if you plan on recording an entire band at once then you need a much more advanced setup, including a mixing console, a few more microphones, and some outboard preamps for each of the instruments. Keep in mind that each studio has its own sound equipment and policies, so it’s important to contact the venue manager to determine what they have available and what you need to bring.
