By Philip Newell

Using straight-forward language and functional examples, Philip Newell covers the foremost rules of creating a winning studio development. during this 3rd variation of Recording Studio layout, he grants the abilities you want to keep away from catastrophe and create an effective and powerful acoustical atmosphere to list and convey the fineset audio. examine from Newell's years of expertise as he presents nice element at the useful recording software in quite a few acoustic environments, and explores complicated matters, offering real-world strategies.

This re-creation expands and develops at the themes from the former variations, updating it for the electronic age, so that you have the entire present details you want to construct, adapt or replace your recording studio.

Example text

Strictly speaking, it expresses a power ratio, but it has many other applications. The dB SPL is a defined 20 Chapter 2 sound-pressure-level reference. Zero dB SPL is defined as a pressure of 20 micro pascals (one pascal being one newton per square metre) but that definition hardly affects daily life in recording studios. There are many text books which deal with the mathematics of decibels, but we will try to deal here with the more mundane aspects of its use. Zero (0) dB SPL is the generally accepted level of the quietest perceivable sound to the average, young human being.

Perhaps it is therefore important to note at this early stage of the chapter that many so-called facts of hearing are often wrongly applied. Tests done on pure tones or speech frequently do not represent what occurs with musical sounds. Traditionally it has been the medical and communications industries that have funded much of the research into hearing. The fact that it is a different part of the brain which deals with musical perception to that which deals with speech and pure tones is often not realised.

1 Damping and the Mass Law A great influence on the ability of any structure to provide sound isolation is that of damping. Damping is the degree to which a propagating wave within a material or structure is internally absorbed, normally by the conversion of the vibrational energy into heat. The damping of a material or structure can also be achieved to some degree by the addition of a damping material to its surface e Plasticine on a bell, for example. An acoustically very ‘lossy’ (highly damped), massive structure can in many cases, for the same degree of isolation, be less rigid, because the passage of the vibrational waves through the structure is severely attenuated before the waves can re-radiate from another surface.
