Studio album

A studio album is an album made up of tracks recorded in the controlled environment of a recording studio, as opposed to a live recording made at a performance venue or a compilation or reissue album of previously recorded material. A studio album is usually planned and scheduled in advance, and may take anywhere from a few days to more than a year to complete.

With modern recording technology, the musicians can be recorded in separate rooms or at separate times while listening to the other parts using headphones; with each part recorded as a separate track.
