Sound Temple Studios in Asheville North Carolina has been moving along quite well in the last couple of weeks. This is gonna be a very quiet studio indeed. You can see in the pics that all the insulation was done on the outer shell walls. Next the Isomax clips were put up with the hat channel to hang the drywall on. The Isomax clips isolate the drywall on the walls from the framing and lowers the bleed from room to room in the studio by about 6 db or more. As you can see from one of the side views, we are also using 3 layers or 5/8 drywall as opposed to 2. This will be significant when an engineer is trying to get good separation on all the tracks and will make overdubbing and mixing easier.
So now the entire shell of the studio has drywall (ceiling and exterior walls). The framers arrive today to frame all the interior walls. By the end of this week the entire studio will take shape. This is a very exciting week indeed. I've also been working with Wes Lachot on picking out the colors and fabric to enhance the "Temple vibe" in the studio. I learned this week that the word Temple comes from the Latin word Templum which means "open space". This is very fitting because the clockwise flow and floor plan do create a very open, flowing space in this recording studio studio. Musicians, engineers and record producers will surely appreciate this subtle energy flow when making music.
The next blog will show all the framing. Stay tuned
Namaste
