A Sarcastic Statement
Hi there,
Seems, more and more I'm seeing pictures of studios with live rooms that are made all or mostly of wood - the floors, walls and ceiling. And anytime I see this, there looks to be to absorption panels or bass trapping. I understand some rooms dimensions are designed in a way to avoid flutter echoes and bass buildup, so if you designed such a room, is it true that you would require no absorption at all? I know what some studios will do is cover an entire wall with absorption and then cover the absorption with thin spaced apart wood strips to act as a diffuser as well, but I doubt that's what these studios are doing...
For example, here is one higher profile studio (home studio actually) around my parts where all the bigger bands in the area record. Any bands around here that get signed and get their singles in regular rotation on the radio tend to record here since he has that "modern" rock sound and is very up with the times and good at what he does.

Here is another one a studio a few hours from my place which is much bigger and has a pretty nice looking setup. Also wood live room and no VISIBLE absorption. Go to the gallery section on this site: Beach Road Studios
What gives?
