| Okay folks listen up today I have an
| |
| | recording studio anywhere in the world
|
| interesting question for you.
| |
| | that is not packed to the rafters with
|
| Hands up those who reckon they know five
| |
| | some form of noise reduction system.
|
| of music's' greatest historical moments
| |
| | Enter stage left Acoustic Foam.
|
| and technological innovations?
| |
| | The bottom line here is that it doesn't
|
| Yeah Yeah I know, they'll be the usual
| |
| | matter how good your music is, how
|
| suspects, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Dr Moog,
| |
| | talented the band or singers are, if you
|
| the creator of the synthesiser, the
| |
| | can't get your music out to the people
|
| developers of the Dolby Sound Reduction
| |
| | then you might as well not be there.
|
| System and quite possibly amongst the
| |
| | As I said, at this point, enter stage
|
| great guitarists of history we will see
| |
| | left, Acoustic Foam.
|
| the usual names, Hendrix, Clapton and BB
| |
| | Most recording studios in the world are
|
| King amongst others but how about taking a
| |
| | located within some forms of urban
|
| slightly different approach?
| |
| | location. OK I know there are the
|
| How about the creator of acoustic foam and
| |
| | exceptions that prove the rule etc like
|
| soundproofing?
| |
| | Compass Point, Nassau, George Martin's
|
| Now this is a bit of a trick question in
| |
| | former place at Montserrat before the
|
| many ways as foam rubber has been around
| |
| | Volcano kindly caused them to move (proof
|
| in a number of different guises and has
| |
| | if ever there was needed that foam rubber
|
| actually been around for quite some time.
| |
| | can't solve everything) and Virgins Manor
|
| Now before you all start thinking that
| |
| | Studios but by and large most studios are
|
| I've totally lost the plot and stop
| |
| | located in the mist of urban sprawls.
|
| laughing and snickering at the back of the
| |
| | Take London for instance, you have Air
|
| class because there is actually a serious
| |
| | Studios in Oxford Street, You used to have
|
| side to this. So as the great British
| |
| | (if it is still there) Virgins Townhouse
|
| comedian Frankie Howard would say "titter
| |
| | studios in Goldhawk Road and of course

| Now the logic behind this inspired line of
| |
| | Road Studios in.....Abbey Road.
|
| thinking goes along the line of, it
| |
| | Now, how long do you think these places
|
| doesn't matter who you are and what you
| |
| | would have lasted if they had succeeded in
|
| have, you would never make the maximum
| |
| | permanently annoying the neighbours? About
|
| usage out of it if you are suffering from
| |
| | five minutes I reckon knowing some of the
|
| permanent sleep deprivation.
| |
| | neighbours that these places have and so
|
| OK I may be appearing to be slightly off
| |
| | noise reduction is right up there with a
|
| the wall here (ho ho pun intended) but
| |
| | decent recording deck.
|
| there is logic behind all of this. OK in
| |
| | So folks, if you have finished laughing. I
|
| the annals of the Rock and Roll Hall of
| |
| | reckon that Acoustic Foam that makes the
|
| Fame etc then Acoustic Foam is hardly the
| |
| | largest part of internal noise reduction
|
| most glamorous and sexy of products but
| |
| | systems is pretty vital?
|
| along with Marshall amplification and SSL
| |
| | I rest my case.
|
| Recording Desks I bet there isn't a
