about
plarium recording studio is the proprietary sound recording studio of the game developer Plarium. The studio is located in the same building as the main office of the company. To create high-quality sound that immerses the user in the game world, not only the skill of sound designers and high-quality equipment are needed, but the room in which the work takes place is also important.
concept
The sound quality and tonal characteristic depend largely on the acoustic properties of the room. A properly organized studio should provide an optimal combination of absorption and diffusion effects. In order to approach its space planning professionally, you need to understand the nature of a sound and its behavior in different types of premises. Therefore, we have worked on this project together with a professional acoustician, who determined the main parameters and materials of the room.
According to the technical task from the sound designers, there were to be 3 workplaces in the studio. It has determined the functional zoning of the studio. Also, it was necessary to create a room within a room for the well formed sound. For this reason, the walls, the floor, and the ceiling of the studio room are detached from the floor framing and enclosing walls.Thus, the following zones have sprung in the studio: an entrance hall with a place
to store tools, 3 control rooms with workplaces for sound designers, a tone-room.
to store tools, 3 control rooms with workplaces for sound designers, a tone-room.
The tone-room is used for recording voice, noise effects and musical instruments. It should provide a comfortable placement for musicians/actors during recording. In the control rooms, sound designers will create, listen and process sound material. The control rooms have a visual connection with the tone-room through the windows. The walls, the ceiling, the floor have certain acoustic layers, and finally the walls and the ceiling are decorated with finishing biflex fabric panels.
