On Thursday we visited Disk-Edits at Bowden.
Neville Clark has setup a fantastic facility with all the toys to bring dribble to the lips of any aspiring Engineer/Producer. His Studio has been fitted out by an acoustic engineer and consists of a Mastering suite, Recording area and a Post-Production room. Although right next the Recording area Neville can work in the Mastering suite while a loud guitar amp is being recorded thanks to the triple glass and brick wall separating the two. Noise in the Mastering area was at an absolute minimum with all computers etc isolated in the machine room and although there were nearly 15 of us in the air tight room I could not hear the air-con. And we were all comfortable. Amazing! Neville says that all of these factors lead to less stress in the room.
Neville explained about how the reflective surfaces in his room worked and how the object was to have none of them affecting the listening position. I have to say that diffusion of the sound waves is the best excuse for having a messy desk I’ve ever heard.
Neville has diversified his business and does lots of voice over work, preservation of sound for museums etc and is almost up and running in 5.1.
