Ljudstudio

Ljudstudio, literally "sound studio" in Swedish, is a facility equipped for capturing, editing, mixing, and mastering audio. They are used for music production, film and television post-production, radio, podcasts, voice-over, and sound design.

Facilities typically include a control room with a mixing console or a digital audio workstation, one or more isolation rooms and a live room, acoustic treatment to manage reflections, microphone selection, audio interfaces, monitoring systems, headphones, and outboard gear. The layout emphasizes sound isolation, room acoustics, electrical grounding, and comfortable ergonomics.

Workflows usually begin with pre-production planning, followed by tracking sessions to capture performances, overdubs and comping, then editing, mixing, and mastering. Some studios offer additional services such as producer or engineer supervision, music and sound design, or studio rental with engineering staff.

Types of studios range from commercial facilities with full-time engineers and lounge spaces to project studios and home studios. Commercial studios focus on high-end acoustics and equipment, while project studios emphasize flexibility and cost efficiency. Home studios are common for independent artists and may rely on accessible DAWs and near-field monitors.

Ljudstudio as a term is widely used in Sweden and other Nordic countries; in English-language contexts the term is typically translated as "recording studio" or "sound studio."
