Sound Studio Construction on a Budget
Build your own recording studio, home theater, and more--even if you're on a shoestring budget! Sophisticated sound studios are notoriously expensive to build and use. It's not unheard-of for bands to pay up to $1,000 a day for the use of a first-rate studio. If you have a discerning musical ear and high hopes--but not the budget to match--this book gives you the tools and expert guidance you need to create an audio studio far less expensively than you thought possible. Acoustics guru F. Alton Everest provides complete, easy-to-follow plans for 10 projects: voice-over recording studio; modern and classical music recording studio; rock music recording studio; personal project studio; small announce booth; control rooms; film/video/audio workroom; home theater; teleconference room; high-fidelty music listening room; plus eight chapters of technical background material applicable to each of the 10 projects. Each clearly illustrated design can be built from readily available materials and is accompanied by a parts list. Everest also supplies step-by-step instructions for installing your own sound-enhancing diffusing units for each of the projects to ensure topnotch acoustics and save you money.
