CCSMT36 Develop the brief for recording studio design
Overview
This standard is about developing the brief for design of a potential recording studio control room, associated live area or a programming suite. This briefing is likely to be for an acoustician, studio designer or architect.
This involves specifying creative and physical requirements and budget and time constraints, researching suitable spaces, assessing designs against requirements and legal compliance, agreeing changes to brief or designs and monitoring costs and progress.
This is for anyone who needs to commission a design for a potential recording studio control room, associated live area or a programming suite.
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
obtain reliable information about budgets and timescales
agree requirements for space and any other physical requirements with appropriate people
research and agree desired creative and acoustic requirements with appropriate people
develop a brief which specifies full details of all requirements and constraints
develop a brief in clear, unambiguous language
investigate suitable spaces for conversion to studio type
identify people or organisations with sufficient relevant expertise in recording studio design
give the people or organisations receiving the brief suitable opportunities to clarify your requirements
analyse feasibility studies and drawings for designed space against requirements
check calculated room responses of draft layouts meet requirements
check studio conversion design plans comply with legal requirements
assess construction and installation costs against budget
manage conflict between desired requirements and what is achievable at appropriate times
agree changes to designs and requirements with appropriate people
assess projected construction timescales against requirements
create and develop accurate spreadsheets to monitor cost against budget
Knowledge and understanding
You need to know and understand:
the purpose of recording studio control rooms, associated live areas and programming suites
how to identify the potential of spaces for conversion into recording studios
who to consult about physical and creative requirements
communication methods for liaising with technical experts and designers
how to develop and structure a brief
how to assess creative and acoustic requirements
the principles of sound
the effects of physical requirements on recording studio operation
how to identify people who may have experience in recording studio design including acousticians, studio designers and architects
what is involved in a feasibility survey including measurements and investigations into the supply of mains wiring and other requisite features
the materials, equipment, racking units and furniture required and reasons for use
the importance of structural and acoustic research
reasons for maintaining detailed project management
where to obtain information about budget and costs
how to provide records of project development
the importance of keeping records
studio construction methods
relevant health and safety factors to be taken into consideration including noise control
