For example, is it just vocals or are there other instruments you want to record for your song. It depends on what elements you want to record live. Recording a song can take anything from an hour to a full day in a studio. It is always recommended to play the song live on your own or as part of a band.

Before you get to this stage you should have already written the song, lyrics and arrangement. Recording your song at a studio is a key component of becoming an artist and forms a crucial part of the creative process.
