“For the next two to three years, the studio was shared with Bill Laswell,” says Bisi.
The sessions would eventually become the track “Lizard Point” on Eno’s ambient record “On Land”, which is considered his darkest ambient record – a fact of which Bisi is particularly proud. Prior to LaFarge, Martin shared the studio space with producer Bill Laswell and Brian Eno.īC Sound’s first recording was captured in January 1981 with Brian Eno. Martin currently shares the BC Sound control room space with producer Jason LaFarge and his studio, Seizures Palace. the same dry audio played through the Altiverb impulse response of the room. I will also provide a commercially available track recorded at each studio. Once the sweep tones are recorded, they can be dragged directly into Altiverb via the IR Import tab.įor each studio in this series, I will provide several different audio examples including one showcasing the difference between the actual audio recorded by the mics in the room vs. This gives the end user the ability to decide which mic placement in the room sounds best for their mix. Each distance will end up being a separate impulse response that can be used inside Altiverb. For some rooms, we recorded multiple IRs at varying distances. We then began capturing the impulse responses by playing Audio Ease’s blip and sweep tone. Reference audio consisting of dry drums, percussion and double bass is played back and recorded for each setup so that I can later A/B the sound of the room versus the impulse response created by Altiverb. Omni-directional mics are usually best as they will capture the ambience of a room most naturally.
The process of capturing a room starts with setting up a pair of good quality studio monitor speakers on stands in a spot in the room where a loud instrument like a drum kit might normally be positioned, and point them directly at the capsules of a spaced pair of microphones on the opposite side of the room. I’ll touch on some of the main ideas before getting to the studios:

Part I of this series features a detailed description of the setup and capture process. Each of these rooms is the everyday home-base operation for a particular producer/engineer. In this section, we’ll explore three studio spaces that fall more into the category of ”project” or “private studio” than commercial studio. For more info on the scope of the project and its roots, see Part I. I’m on a mission to capture the sound of Brooklyn recording studios and acoustic spaces through impulse responses created for Audio Ease’s Altiverb 7 software. Part II of the multi-part Altiverb Impulse Response Project.
