Studio Monitoring refers to the process of listening to audio recordings in a controlled environment, typically using high-quality speakers or headphones. This ensures that sound engineers and producers can accurately assess the quality of the audio, making necessary adjustments to achieve the desired sound. In a recording studio, studio monitors are specially designed speakers that provide a flat frequency response, allowing for a true representation of the audio. This is crucial for mixing and mastering music, as it helps professionals identify any issues in the sound that may not be heard on regular speakers or consumer headphones.
