Hello!
I work at a public library, and this is my first post. We are building three dedicated audio recording studios for our new main branch, and I'm working on a project to fit them out. I have a basic understanding of audio recording... but I've never had to build a studio before. So questions!
So we have three studios. We'll call these studios A, B, & C.
Studio A will accommodate 2 to 3 people, and its main purpose will be to record podcasts, VOs and isolated musical instrument recordings. Studio B will accommodate 3 -5 people and is for general purpose recording and mixing, which could involve small multi-instrument recordings and rehearsals. Studio A and B will share a wall, and we want the flexibility of being able to use Studio A as a control room for recording performances in Studio B.
Each studio will have at a minimum:
We want both studios A&B to be standalone recording spaces, but also be able to accommodate a control room/recording space model. To accomplish this, what gear would we need?
For example, can we chain Studio A's mixer to Studios B mixer through USB and then patch between the two signals when we want to use B as a control room?
Or is there another approach?
