What is the Studio Directory?

WikiRecording is a great resource for Recording Studios. Any studio, big or small, can create a page on WikiRecording listing the name of your studio, photos of your studio, a list of albums worked on, an equipment list, quotes from former clients and whatever else you think would interested a potential client or renter of your studio.

Potential Clients and Renters can then discover your studio in all its glory in the directory!

How Do I Add My Studio?

There is a please read the Tutorial for adding a Studio to the WikiRecording Directory if you wish to add your studio.

What Does It Cost? (Hint: Its Free!)

The Studio Directory is a free service we provide for the benefit of the community. All we ask in return is for you to write an article or two about some of the equipment you have in your studio. This is beneficial for both you and your clients. For example, think of the most confusing piece of equipment in your studio and how many times you've had to explain it to a client or renter. What if the next time you could just point them towards the article? Less work for you and good for the community!
