How Does a Recording Studio Designer Do His Job?

This week, Jordan returns to talk nerdy with Tim Crossley, partner and lead designer at

Crossley Acoustics. Tim’s company designs and builds recording studios for the music, film and

(of course) podcasting industries -- in fact, as it turns out, he built Slate’s own studio! Tim and

Jordan get into all the detailed work and planning that goes into making a room sound “good”,

from using acoustic modeling software to building and rebuilding custom resonators.
