Studio Acoustics
As it is rightly said, Silence is Golden, so commercial acoustic studio are build because they must allow absolutely no sound to enter from a usually noisy environment i.e. recording booth. Double and triple walls, isolated concrete slabs, custom steel / wooden doors are constructed for soundproofing of recording booth. Given a reasonably quiet, solidly built house to start with, a decent acoustic studio can be created with modest expense and effort.
The desired studio acoustic properties of a recording studio are in many ways the opposite of those of an auditorium. Instead of enhanced reverberation, it is desirable for the recording studio to be acoustically "dead", having a very short reverberation time.The entire process is done just to make a soundproofing system. Not only does this require the enclosure itself to be very absorbent of sound, but soundproofing becomes very important for Studio Acoustics. In order to prevent the passage of low frequency sounds such as traffic noise, aircraft noise, etc., the recording enclosure is often isolated from the main structure with a double wall. Since low frequency sounds are much more efficiently borne by solid structures than high frequencies, the suspended "room within a room" strategy minimizes the structural linking of the recording room to the foundation of the building. Careful sealing of the enclosure and careful design of the heating and air-conditioning system are necessary for Studio Acoustics.
