The Recording Studio Design Page

Non-commercial site accessing theory, drawings, data, and a small Dos basic program for those interested in building a new studio or retrofitting an existing facility. 


The material available is taken from 40+ years of experience in live studio recording, design, and construction plus about 15 teaching studio/control room acoustics. Considerable practical experience has proven results to match  theory.


The (copyrighted) bulk of text and drawings have been published, mostly in MIX magazine, but never made available to the industry at large at a single source.
