THE CHAPEL
‘The Chapel’ was designed with an entirely opposite
approach to the dead room. Although the room has been insulated
to prohibit leaking sound, it has been constructed to produce controlled
sound reflection within the booth itself. The walls are lined with
wooden baffle diffusers at specific points and the floor is lined
with Welsh slate. Most of the surfaces are left bare for natural
reverb to be produced. This gives an extremely warm, colourful sound
that produces fat vocal recordings and beautiful acoustic resonances,
without losing any of the lower, bass frequencies.
It is perfect for sparse, spaced-out mixes and works best with
acoustic guitars, fat electric guitars and bass (with distance
mike’d cabs), percussion, unusual drum sounds, strings,
and anything else that you want to sound more ‘human’,
rather than digitally sampled.
This room is by far the most creative in its use, as we can remove
or add diffusers and absorbers to calm or torture the sound to
your taste. Corner carpeting helps tidy up the bass traps, but
the slightly lumpy sound is what adds such character to this room!
