I found this on Gearslutz and figured it would be great info for the J.Sayers guys.
I have not read through it all yet.

BBC Guide to Acoustic Practice

what about those double Camden walls? :twisted:
Yup. Not to mention carpets on the floor, lack of CR symmetry recommended ( :shock: ), hollow doors, lack of wall cavity insulation, triple-leaf, quad leaf, and more.... :!: But then again, it is from more than 20 years ago, and acoustics has advanced a lot since then. One also has to consider the huge amounts of mass they recommend in all leaves. Not surprising that it worked, despite the multi-leaf walls.

plus some of the studios were so large you were lucky if the sound waves even made it to the walls... :mrgreen:
Yes sir, we have seen it before. As a historical guide, it is a good map to how things have evolved. For those of us(me) who sit in the middle of the transition from old to new, I am not educated enough to be jaded one way or the other but for lack of any other information to go on, if this guide were all I had, then this is where I would start.I found this on Gearslutz and figured it would be great info for the J.Sayers guys.
