Recording March 2022 - 45
The tracking room has a beautiful picture window that faces
north to avoid the eastern or western sun, with multiple remote
shades that can let in some of the natural light or no light at all,
and the benches underneath the window double as cabinets
for microphones, cables and miscellaneous storage. Opposite
the window are beautiful curtains that conceal even more storage.
The ceiling has a grid system that is set up to install some
video lighting. It also has a whole bunch of speakers attached
to it. What's that all about? Hold that thought.
I think it's important to add that the studio is connected to
the house via a short breezeway, so the structure is, in fact,
separate from the rest of the house, and it has its own restroom
in the entryway, so visitors working in the studio don't have to
interrupt the rest of the family when using the facilities.
Acoustic architecture
The tracking room is equipped with a pArtScience SpaceInerator.
There are 28 speakers in the room (walls and ceiling)
along with a stereo pair of microphones in the ceiling. The
system is designed to take an incoming signal, for example
drums in a small room, and change its acoustic environment.
Want the drums to sound like they're in a jazz club? No problem.
Want the snare to sound like it's in a rock arena? Boom!
One could say, " I can just do that with a reverb plugin. " While
true, the pArtScience system sounds amazing and does what
no plugin can ever do, which is to give the musicians the sensation
of being completely enveloped in that space during the
recording process-not too shabby!
The wrap
So here we have the story of a professionally built residential
studio. This is the mainstream future of recording studios-people
recording at home. Matt never had any idea that the studio
of his dreams was even achievable until he reached out and
started having some conversations. Last I checked, dreaming is
still free, and it never hurts to have goals.
So, what does the Boggs' studio sound like? I'm glad you
asked. The Prophets and Outlaws have a new single coming out
next month called 'Beautiful You'. It's one of the first songs they
have recorded in the new space. Head over to their website
prophetsandoutlaws.com and check it out. Until next time...
