More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Discusses the acoustics of rooms intended for musical performance of many styles, in terms of isolation, internal acoustics, possible techniques of use, and the way that these spaces will interact with the musicians, their instruments, and the microphones. Also included are the concepts of sound isolation, the principal processes at work, and descriptions of actual rooms and techniques.
The book describes how the isolation requirements have their effect on the internal acoustics of the rooms, and how the room treatments must be conceived with such interactions taken into consideration.
Starting from the initial concepts, to the measurements of the finished items, Recording Spaces discusses many different types of room, from vocal booths' to orchestral rooms. There are many stories of how actual classical' musical performances, from rock to orchestral, have been inspired, or strongly influenced, by the acoustics of their recording spaces.
The book completes a trilogy of titles, with Studio Monitoring Design and Project Studios complementing each other and covering the subjects of acoustics, monitoring and equipment interfacing which will have relevance from the most meagre studio to the world's finest.
Accessible from different levels of understanding of acoustics
Combines easy reading with technical and scientific accuracy
Contains descriptions of events relating to actual musical performances

There is no space that absolutely cannot be used as a recording studio, so long as it is not subject to any permanent extraneous noises which would intrude upon the recordings. Read the first page

Format:Paperback
I found this to be an interesting read. Lots of info on acoustic isolation and absorption. Doesn't go into the heavy maths of the subject, but looks at room acoustics from a construction / refurbishment point of view. Not the greatest quality pictures, but good factual content from a guy that knows his stuff. I am now considering getting his other book on control room acoustics.
Format:Paperback
This was the first book I read on acoustics, and it gave me the grounding I needed to start my dissertation on studio design. The book is presented in a light manner, with concepts explained really well. A few related celebrity anecdotes make it an easier read... A great overview.
