為什麼在錄音室唱歌要戴耳機？ Why put on earphones when singing at the studio?

問：我不是一個專業的歌手，但我有點疑惑為什麼我們在錄音室唱歌時要戴上耳機？如果當我們合唱的時候我怎樣知道輪到我唱？ — Vidya

Question: I am not a professional singer, but I am wondering why do we need to wear earphones when we are singing at studio? How can I know this is my turn to sing when we are chorusing?— Vidya

當我們在錄音室唱歌，你應該會在耳機中互相聽見其他人的歌聲。我們用耳機以致米克風知錄取你的聲音，而不是音樂。如果同時錄取音樂和歌唱者的聲音，這樣會很難混合。

而基本上，用耳機也能幫助錄製更清晰更高質素的聲音，在後期製作中也能更彈性地混合。

希望這能解釋你的問題。希望你在錄音室有更好的表現！

When we are recording at studio, you could probably hear your partner’s voice through the earphones. Generally, we use both earphones and microphones to record your sounds, but not the music. If we need to record the music and the singers’ voice simultaneously, it will be difficult to combine them together.

Basically, earphones is effective in helping to record a higher quality production, it could bring more flexibility in post-production process as well.

Hope this will help. Wish you all the best in your recording.
