October 22 – Building the Goal: Studio Design and Acoustics

2024 Bulletin - October, Regular Meeting, Special Event

The Audio Engineering Society (AES) is excited to host a special meeting focused on one of the most critical and creative aspects of audio production: successfully designing and building a studio. Join us for an in-depth exploration of the challenges and innovations in quality modern studio construction with our event:

Building the Goal: Navigating the Complexities of Modern Studio Design and Acoustics.

This event will touch on essential topics such as:

Big Ideas, Small Spaces: How to implement large-scale concepts and high-end acoustic solutions within smaller studio environments.
Balancing Aesthetics and Performance: How to design a studio that looks as good as it sounds.
Planning and Goal-Setting: Defining the purpose of the studio—whether for mixing, recording, or both—and ensuring long-term scalability.
Acoustic Treatment and Soundproofing: From material selections to achieving the ideal Sound.
Budget Realities: Addressing the rising costs in studio builds and how to align dreams with achievable goals.
Mechanical Systems: HVAC, electrical, and lighting designs for a high-performance, quiet studios.
Consultants and Technicians: When to hire professional help and how to work with industry experts like acousticians, builders, and electrical engineers.
Managing Expectations: Helping builders navigate the complexities of studio design and realistic budgeting.

Whether you’re a seasoned audio professional, a studio builder, or simply passionate about audio engineering, this meeting will provide valuable insights into how modern studios are conceived, planned, and brought to life. Attendees will gain practical knowledge, from understanding building codes to selecting materials, all while maintaining an eye on future scalability and cutting-edge technology.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from the best in the field and connect with fellow audio engineering professionals.
