nowadays with accessability to studio equipment so much easier alot of studios cover as many boundaries as possible.

At the moment the studio I work in, we are predominantly live, therefore actual recording. But this does not exclude any styles we can reasonably accommodate ie. too small to do large orchestral recordings, but I have worked with bands from punk, folk, funk, jazz, indy and solo artist/songwriters to name a few.

We are looking to expand to accommodate dance orientated music (one reason it's what I do lol)

But there are no boundaries in music and most proffessional studio should cover as much as possible.

You will gett specific area like, voice-over/'multimedia studios for adverts and radio etc... and some dance orientated studios that may not have the space for a live room, or no interest in actual recording and work solely in sampling and synthesis.

I recommend searching google.

There's something for everyone.
Good Luck Bigup

I don't think any studio will refuse clients based on the music style.

Some studios I know will invite other engineers in when they get a band in a music style they don't have experience with. Mostly this is the case with dance music.

Most studios do non-electronic music 95% of the time, so if you want to record electronic music in a studio, you should seek out an engineer with experience in electronic music rather than contact a studio directly.
Most engineers work in a number of studios and they can pick one fitting your budget and music style. You can get a discount on the studio price through the engineer, but you'll have to pay his fee too which is usually between 250-500 euro a day. Decent studios cost between 300 and 1000 euro a day. You can mix between 1-4 songs a day depending on the complexity of the songs, the amount of preparation you have put in it and your personal skill in explaining what you want with the sound Wink

In the end the sound you get depends more on the engineer's skill than the studio quality. Put an inexperienced engineer in a top studio and your sound will still be crap.

right im presuming youve already got a basic studio set up and your making beats.......instead of spending stupid money on studio time why dont you get some basic masteing done??? theres a good london based engineer who charges around £29 a track (roughly) do a google search for audioplexus.
if your just interested in sending some demos out or want a better quality dubplate to play out then this would be a cheaper option.and should sound pretty good.

and any studio worth its salt should cater for all styles.....but its best to go someowhere with an engineer who knows records in the genres your making, and checking their kit list is the first thing to do.
know what you want and be prepared.its cheaper
