Great audio is one of the most important aspects of any fitness studio. Whether it's background music to inspire your clients or sound reinforcement for group classes, you want to make sure you have what it takes to be heard. In the past, fitness professionals had to turn to audio professionals to get their sound system up and running. Today, audio companies offer a variety of solutions that make it easy for anyone to get great sound in the studio. Let's look at the basics!To Studio Sound get started, you'll want to choose some speakers that can handle the size of the room you're working in. For a single room studio, you'll generally want 2 speakers. If your studio has multiple rooms, you'll want to consider multiple pairs of speakers. It's better to have more speakers running at a lower volume than to have one speaker blasting loudly from one room. Your ears will thank you!The Samson RS Loudspeaker series can cover just about any room you need. There are models from 10 to 15 inches. The size of the speaker should depend on the room size you have, how many people you plan to target with the speaker, and how much bass response you’re looking for. If you’re going to be running group fitness classes, you’ll want that bass pumping! The RS speakers are active speakers, so you will also want to make sure you have access to power wherever you plan on placing the speakers. The RS speakers can be placed on a stand, angled directly on the floor, or mounted with standard M10 fly points.Once the speakers are in place, you'll need a mixer and some cables to drive them. The mixer will allow you to connect various devices such as microphones, computers, audio playback devices, mobile devices, and more. Most professional mixers have XLR outputs, which is convenient because most professional speakers have XLR inputs! You'll want to get XLR cables long enough to reach your mixer for each speaker you use.On the mixer side of things, there are a lot of choices to look at. When choosing a mixer, the first thing to consider is what you're going to be plugging into it. Will you be using a microphone? Wired or wireless? These are all consideratio……
Berberian Sound Studio is a 2012 British psychological horror film. It is the second Studio Sound feature film by British director and screenwriter Peter Strickland. The film, which stars Toby Jones, is set in a 1970s Italian horror film studio.British Gilderoy (Toby Jones) arrives at the Berberian film studio in Italy to work on what he believes is a film about horses. During a surreal meeting with Francesco, the film’s producer, Gilderoy is shocked to find the film is actually an Italian giallo film, The Equestrian Vortex. He nonetheless begins work in the studio, at one point made to do Foley work, using vegetables to create sound effects for the film’s increasingly gory torture sequences, and mixing voiceovers from session artists, Silvia and Claudia, into the score.As time passes, and Gilderoy feels more and more disconnected from his mother at home, he begins to fear he’s out of his depth. Gilderoy’s colleagues seem increasingly rude – to both himself and to each other. The horror sequences grow ever more shocking, yet Santini, the director, refuses to admit they are working on a horror film. And, after a long passage through the bureaucracy of the film studio’s accounts department, it turns out the plane ticket Gilderoy submitted for a refund can’t be processed because the flight didn’t actually exist.The plot, from here on in, grows increasingly erratic. Gilderoy hears and sees things in the night. He discovers that Silvia, the voiceover artist, was molested by Santini. She storms out, destroying much of their work, forcing Gilderoy to re-record the dialogue with a new actress, Elisa. As Silvia’s recording sequences are revisited, and tension grows between Gilderoy and the others, the boundaries between the blood-drenched giallo thriller and real life begin to erode. Gilderoy imagines he himself is in a film about his life – suddenly fluent in Italian and increasingly detached and vicious.After he and Francesco find Elisa’s screams less-than-adequate during a recording session, Gilderoy volunteers to torture her with dissonant and shrill sounds in order to elicit the perfect scream. Studio Sound Instead, she wa……
