Over the years, and perhaps surprisingly, the only available books on recording studio design seem
to have been written by individuals with no credible track record in the field. RA-The Book draws
upon over 23 years of experience designing and building hundreds of successful studios of all genres,
sizes and styles around the world and features projects selected from the built design output of
Recording Architecture from 1987-2010.

This is not a theoretical guide but a detailed presentation of tried and tested techniques as applied
to real, built projects - in many of the case studies, the actual drawings issued for construction are
reproduced. The examples illustrate not only what we think should be done but what was in fact
physically (and successfully) implemented in a wide variety of situations - from small, private project
studios to large, commercial land mark studios such as Lansdowne, Konk and CTS.

Examples range in scope from individual spaces and rooms to multi studio facilities and cover the
two principal strands of recording and mixing:

MUSIC studios - recording (tracking), mixing and mastering (including cutting) - project to orchestral
in scale - taken from the private, commercial and educational sectors.

POST PRODUCTION studios - voice over (dubbing), FX recording ("Foley"), film mix studios (dubbing
theatres) - from small voice over studios for TV to large Dolby Premier Certified film mix theatres.

The Book forms an in depth guide for anyone with an interest in the design and building of recording studios :

Users - owners, sound and maintenance engineers, producers, composers and musicians

The design team - architects, acousticians, building contractors and individual trades,

All in education - students and teachers of architecture, recording and music
Hundreds of photographs plus detailed plans and construction drawings - including comprehensive
specifications of materials and techniques - show exactly how these environments were created.
