In recent years musicians and record producers have expressed dissatisfaction over the poor quality of music they have been producing in the past years. This is because of the use of inadequately equipped and designed recording studios. While most people agree that the issue needs attention, solving the problem still requires Architectural attention.
This study examined two approaches to solving architectural acoustic problems in music recording studios, and dealt with the effectiveness of the use of proper acoustic building materials and geometry in the design of music recording studios. The examination of recent acoustic treatments in recording studios points to the limitations of creating the best recording environment and suggest the need for a comprehensive solution that combines acoustic building materials, the geometry and sizes of studio interior spaces on this complex problem.
Therefore this study was aimed at using this recording studio to be sited in PortHacourt to show how a modern recording studio should look like from the architectural point of view, thereby trying to enhance the economic viability of the south-south geo-political zone through the production and marketing of quality music.
