Recording studio design

"Recording Studio Design is Philip Newell's definitive work and essential reading for anyone involved in building, renovating and the daily use of a recording studio. Expanding on his book Recording Spaces, Newell covers the basic principles of acoustics, electro-acoustics and psychoacoustics in straightforward language, demonstrating their practical application to studio design and the reasons for their importance to the daily success of recording studios. Frequent reference is made to examples of actual studios, their various design problems and solutions, and an extensive glossary is provided to help explain any unfamiliar terms."--Jacket.
