Upcoming Webinars:
“From Dreams to Reality: Designing a Personal Recording Studio”
Tuesday, July 14, 2020 from 12:00pm ET to 1:00pm ET
Hosted by Sergio Molho, WSDG Partner and Director of Business Development and Joshua Morris, WSDG Partner and COO
Every musician and recording engineer dreams of having their own recording studio – a personalized artistic sanctuary that encourages productivity and creativity. But how do these dreams turn into brick and mortar locations with the kind of acoustics, vibe, and equipment to bring music to life? This discussion will address the design and implementation cycle of the “project studio” – from the early stages on the drawing board, to project management, construction, acoustics and aesthetics, including numerous real-world examples.

“Adventures at the Low End: Low Frequency Behavior in Studio Listening Rooms – Behavior, Research, Tools, and Advancements”
Thursday, July 30, 2020 from 12:00pm ET to 1:00pm ET
Hosted by John Storyk, WSDG Founding Partner and Director of Design
Featuring Dirk Noy, WDSG Partner, Senior Acoustician, Director WSDG-Europe
Peter D’Antonio, Founder, RPG, Director of Research REDIacoustics
Renato Cipriano, WSDG Partner, Grammy-award winning engineer
The study of low frequencies in acoustics for critical listening environments such as modern audio control rooms, as well as high performance conferencing environments and home theaters has historically been analyzed by techniques developed a century ago, primarily for use in rooms with simplistic, cuboid shapes. These methods have been less effective when it comes to predicting the acoustic signature of irregularly shaped spaces, and in particular do not allow for correct implementation of effective low frequency absorbers. Now, thanks to advances in acoustic research and predictive wave acoustic software development, WSDG has developed new tools and methods that can be implemented for superior low frequency control and optimization in any room -- regardless of size, shape or materialization. Some of these principles, research and techniques as well as real world examples will be discussed.
