| Summary |
"Recording Spaces deals with the acoustics of rooms intended for musical performance of many styles. It discusses these spaces 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. It deals with the concepts of sound isolation, examines some of the principal processes at work, and provides drawings 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, with 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."--BOOK JACKET |
