Innovating Music Since 1931 Abbey Road Studios is the most famous recording studio in the world and a global music icon.

Studios invest heavily in state-of-the-art recording gear, acoustically treated rooms, and skilled engineers to ensure optimal sound quality. Additionally, studio overhead costs include rent, utilities, insurance, and staff salaries.

Some studios generate revenue by renting out their high-end equipment, instruments, or specialized gear to musicians, producers, or other studios without such resources.

Studio managers oversee the daily operations at a recording studio. Their duties run the gamut from studio and gear maintenance to business operations and customer relations.
