Alongside the <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-choose-a-microphone\/\">studios <\/a>are listening rooms, greenrooms and plenty of space to relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/spotify-at-mateo-spotify-recording-studio.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94612 lazyload\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The studios are used for creating original music content for <a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-customize-your-spotify-artist-profile\/\">Spotify <\/a>like <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/spotifys-singles-have-been-streamed-5-billion-times\/\">Spotify Singles<\/a> \u2013 releases that consist of one cover and one new recording of an artists\u2019 song. There\u2019s also 18 podcast studios in a space designed like a honeycomb, and a live events stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two music studios have a mix of modern and analogue technology. Whatever music <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/music-genres-with-the-most-plays-on-soundcloud\/\">genre <\/a>artists play and no matter if they\u2019re sampler-heavy <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/5-eq-mistakes-new-producers-make\/\">music producers<\/a> or part of a band, the studios are stuffed full of inspiring toys. It\u2019s a space for artists to use as they please, filled with vintage instruments such as a 1969 Wurlitzer 200 red top electric piano, and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/729575\">1935 Rickenbacker \u201cFrying Pan\u201d lap steel<\/a>, the first commercially available electric guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/spotify-at-mateo-spotify-studio-recording.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94613 lazyload\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A casual Spirio Steinway player <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/is-it-easier-to-learn-guitar-or-piano\/\">piano<\/a> has inbuilt software that can be linked with another piano across the globe to play in real time together. There are pristine vintage <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-choose-a-microphone\/\">microphones<\/a>, and a purpose-built echo chamber where you can create unique echo effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you get carried away drooling over the gear, you should know the studios can\u2019t be used by just <em>any<\/em>one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/10-of-the-best-film-scores-and-tv-soundtracks-of-2022\/\">FINNEAS <\/a>was the first artist to record there; since then the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/flight-of-the-bumblebee-play-on-ipad-by-chinese-pianist-lang-lang\/\">Lang Lang <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/morello-recorded-guitars-using-iphone\/\">Tom Morello<\/a> have used the studio, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/best-songs-of-2022\/\">Ethel Cain<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/7MoIc5s9KXolCBH1fy9kkw\">Japanese Breakfast<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/finneas-spotify-recording-studio-spotify-single.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94611 lazyload\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\">Spotify&#8217;s studios might be out of your reach right now, but in the meantime you can still release your music onto Spotify \u2013 for free!
