Hogle's Theatrical Supplies (lighting display room)

room type: plywood booth acoustically treated with theatrical drapery and carpeted floor.

room dimensions: 8x16x8

room acoustics: A fairly flat sounding room. The theatrical drapery was quite dense. There was only a small amount of "slapback" going on and resonation in mid frequency range.

notes: This was one of the last recordings I'd done before building a recording booth of my own. The amount of retakes on even a short story like this for reason of some passing Boombox Jeep was the compelling reason for the expense and labor. Everyone was a sport. Update 20070225 Re-eq'd the audio book and added music by Kevin MacLeod.
