Purchase options and add-ons

Recording Studio Design, Fourth Edition explains the key principles of successful studio design and construction using straightforward language and the use of practical examples appreciated by readers of previous editions. Updated to reflect new industry standards, this fourth edition addresses improvements in cinema sound, with specific attention paid to B-chain electroacoustic response and calibration.

Using over 50 years’ experience, author Philip Newell provides detail on the practical aspects of recording in various environments, not only exploring the complex issues relating to the acoustics but also providing real-world solutions. While the book contains detailed discussions about performing rooms, control rooms, and mobile studios, concepts of the infrastructures are also discussed, because no studio can perform optimally unless the technical and human requirements are adequately provided for. In this new edition, sound for cinema provides a platform for highlighting many, wider electroacoustic topics in a way that is relatively easy to visualise. The way in which sound and vision interact is an important aspect of many modern multimedia formats.

The new edition includes:

    • A new Chapter 22 that will thoroughly reflect recently published SMPTE investigations which will drastically impact standards for cinema sound;

    • The inclusion of new academic research and its practical applications;

    • An entire new illustrated chapter on room construction principles; and

    • The consolidation of ideas which were only emerging when the earlier editions were published.

    Sehr umfangreich, anschaulich und detailliert. Newell schafft es, selbst komplexeste Sachverhalte mit einfachen Beispielen, Anekdoten und Vergleichen sehr anschaulich auf den Punkt zu bringen. Wer selbst ein Studio oder auch nur einen einzelnen Regie- oder Aufnahmeraum bauen möchte, kann sein Geld kaum sinnvoller investieren, als in dieses Buch. Wer lieber mit erfahrenen Studioplanern zusammenarbeiten möchte, kann sich nicht besser auf Planungsgespräche etc. vorbereiten, als mit diesem Buch. Über 800 Seiten geballtes Fachwissen sind natürlich nicht ganz ohne, aber jedes Kapitel wird am Ende in kurzen "Merksätzen" zusammengefasst, was sehr dabei hilft, sich das Gelernte einzuprägen. Die vielen Quellenangaben bieten zu jedem Thema weiterführende Literatur und man hat den Eindruck, dass der gesamte Inhalt sowohl theoretisch als auch praktisch sehr fundiert ist. Die Grafiken sind schwarz/weiß, aber reichen m.E. nach vollkommen aus, um die Inhalte zu vermitteln. Unbedingt kaufen!

    2.0 out of 5 stars Too complicated and not well presented.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 2, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    This book has lots of formulae etc but is not easy to read or well presented. In short it’s too complicated. If you’re looking for straight forward advice and diagrams/pictures on how to build a garage studio or convert an existing space then this isn’t the book for you.
