Cultivating a Music Studio to Sound Like an Indoor Forest #ASA183

At the 183rd ASA Meeting, researchers will describe “The evolution of Blackbird Studio C,” a space designed to provide an accurate and immersive mixing and production environment. They wanted to create a unique, ambient anechoic space that would allow ambient sound to decay equally across different frequencies and be free from interfering reflections, making it sound like an indoor forest. So they covered the walls and ceiling with primitive root diffusers. This technology causes sound energy to diffuse and radiate in many directions.
