John Sayers' Recording Studio Design Forum

Hi,
Came across this document when I searched for my current Room ratio (1:1.8:2.2), and was quite surprised of all info and wanted to share it with you, obviously I cant judge its correctness, but there are enough experts here in the forum that will be able to verify or reject. Enjoy 91 pages of Acoustic and construction examples.

nice one, have you guys ever read:

A R C H I T E C T U R A L _ A C O U S T I C S
by Marshall Long

No I have not read it, but from the reviews of the book I can imagine that its full of good stuff for people who design/build acousticwise good rooms.

What is the question supposed to mean? I have my copy beside my bed. I like great things at night. The book has a glowing recommendation Leo Beranek. It is not just a goldmine, it is a very big goldmine of acoustics knowledge.
