Studio Design 2010 allows the user to enter in room dimensions of length, width, height
and the reverb response for the room. It calculates all the modal frequencies for axial, tangial, oblique modes
and graphs the results for easy to see modal spacing and mode buildups. In graph mode, the user can tweak the room dimensions to optimize the modal spacing and build-ups. In material mode, the user can optimize acoustic materials for desired room reverb response. The program allows the user to save, edit, and delete projects and rooms. Open a new project and room . | ||
|
When you run Studio Design 2010 for the first time you can get started right away by entering your dimensions or by clicking the Open Project menu option. Open a project by first selecting from the project dropdown list, then select a room name. The projects data will fill in and your ready to work! |
Opening a studio project
Choose a project name and the rooms will showin the room dropdown list |
The project list contains a Best Known Ratiosproject with 6 popular room ratios. • Choose one to begin and change the room dimensions to smooth out the room resonant modal spacing • Use the ratio calculator to upsize or downsize the room dimensions! |
The example demonstrated throughout this siteis New Abbey Road and Studio 2A has been selected. |
Saving a studio project
From the main screen select Save Project fromthe top menu. The program enters the current project and room name or will be blank if it is a new project. • Save the current project and room changes • Save with new room name of current project • Save with a new project and new room name • Program detects a new record or update |
Deleting a studio project
Users can delete a project and all rooms savedwith it or delete rooms within a project. From the main menu select Delete then choose either Delete Project or Delete Room. Click the red icon to remove the project. |

Acoustic Materials Database functions.
|
|
This screen is available by clicking the Acoustic Materials main menu option. This screen provides the ability to add, edit, and delete acoustic materials from the database provided with this application. |
|
Acoustic Materials database options: • Create and assign supplier references and document source of coefficients • Create and assign custom Categories to acoustic materials • Create and assign custom Frequency Band types to acoustic materials • Edit any acoustic material in the database • Add new acoustic materials into the database • Select an existing material, edit coefficients and save as a custom material |
Adding new acoustic materials.
|
|
If there is a acoustic material in the database that is simuliar to one you want at add, then begin typing into the Select an Acoustic Material to Edit dropdown list box. It will sort alphanumeric. When you find what you want, the screen will update with the acoustic materials data entries. |
|
|
• If you wish to edit an existing material, select it from the list and click the Edit button • If you wish to add a new material, click the Add button and enter the required information • To copy a material, click the Add button, select from materials list, and make the changes |
|
|
Make any changes to the material name and coefficients of absorption. Also make selections for the category and Frequency Band. Click the save button when done. |
| Categories | Categories | Frequency Bands |
|---|---|---|
| Absorbers | Furniture | All |
| All | Glass | Low band |
| Carpets | Masonry | Low-Mid band |
| Ceiling | Metal | Mid band |
| Diffusors | Misc | Mid-High band |
| Doors | Plaster | High band |
| Fiberglass | Resonators | Poor band |
| Foam Rubber | Textiles | Wide band |
| Tiles | Walls |
|
Assigning a category will allow filtering by category when performing sabines and reverb acoustic analysis. Quickly find materials for Walls or Floors, etc. Assigning a Frequency Band type also aids in filtering when choosing acoustic materials for your recording studio. Select only low band materials to see those with highest coefficients of absorption at 125hz. |
|
|
To add your own suppliers, categories, or frequency band types click the edit button to enable the fields and controls. To add a new entry to any of these, just begin typing in the dropdown list text field. The example above shows "my category" and "my band". Click the save button when done. You may also delete a supplier, freq. type, or category by selecting one from its dropdown list and clicking the delete button. Be careful, this will require re-assigning materials associated with the deleted entry. |
