ABSTRACT
When designing recording studios, what must always be borne in mind is that the studios exist
to capture artistic performances, and anything that the studios can positively contribute to
those performances is desirable. The recording equipment is a product of the technology,
which is in turn a result of the application of the relevant sciences. What makes studio design so
fascinating is that it involves art, technology and science in such a way that they can
harmonise to produce fabulous music. In the final analysis, however, it will be the subjective
assessment of a recording studio, and of the recordings and mixes that it produces, which
will determine whether any design is successful, or not.
