Live room
Our live room (30ft x 16ft) is equally well suited to guitar
based bands and small orchestral ensembles. It has a good live acoustic
which works particularly well for rock and indie band drum sounds.
In one corner is an isolation box for guitar amps etc. This cabinet,
which is large enough to house a 4 x 12 stack or leslie speaker,
is acoustically separated from the rest of the room so a guitarist
can wind their amp right up and the sound will not spill over onto
drum mics.
 We
have fitted another corner of the live room with removable acoustic
treatments to create a greatly reduced ambience for the many occasions
in modern music when drums and other instruments need to be recorded
"dry". This treatment takes the form of a heavy duty carpet
on the floor, felt curtains on the walls, acoustic tiles - velcroed
to the ceiling and removable acoustic screens. The treated area
measures approximately 15ft x 12ft
The live room has 24 audio tie-lines, 2 video composite tie-lines
and 12 headphone monitor returns from 4 mixes. Also a small PA is
fitted using Alesis Monitor 1 and wedge speakers with a 12 channel
mixer, for rehearsal purposes and for listening back to recordings. |
 Vocal
Booth
An acoustically-treated vocal / voice over booth with a good
selection of microphones (inc. Røde Classic, AKG 414, Neumann
TLM103) provides vocalists and soloists with the controlled environment
needed to produce a complete "studio" sound.
The reduced ambience is also very suitable for voice-over work
and dialogue replacement for sound to picture. The dry recordings
from this environment can be treated using Mosaic's Lexicon Reverbs
to simulate any real environment as required.
The vocal booth has 6 audio tie-lines, a video tie-line connected
to a 21" monitor and 6 headphone monitor returns from 4 mixes. |
