Yeah, that's how I understand it.A properly built control room, as a stand alone or as part of a studio, will have heavy trapping etc, that will virtually eliminate the "room interaction" and "room modes" that others keep referring to.
The room treatments in a properly built professional control room will have almost nothing in common with "Conventional room treatments".

An important aspect of control room design is to provide an aural environment which is conducive to either tracking or mixing, or both, for the type of music which they work on and in which the engineer and producer like to work. I've been in control rooms which are 'dead as a doornail' - almost suffocatingly so. I've also been in control rooms which are acoustical nightmares. My preference, in general, is a control room which has a good balance of well-engineered sound quality, and just a bit of liveness - so you feel like you're in an actual room rather than a dead zone.:)

When you're tracking or mixing you want to hear the signal you're laying down, not the room going nuts.

10-4 on that. But rooms which are excessively dead are weird. That's what I mean by just a "touch" of liveness. I want to feel like I'm in a room - not outside.So, I take it that you're not a fan of Hidley's now-old LEDE approach? (I'm not.)

Live end, dead end. (I think that was Davis)Yeah, it's all a balancing act.
In this thread all I was trying to get across is that in a good room there shouldn't much in the way of room excitement/room interaction.
Not like in a typical home living room.
The "room treatments" that one might use at home have little to do with the treatments that are used by a designer of a professional recording studio where those treatments are part of the build.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. Davis and Davis, not Hidley.
Although, didn't Hidley use the concept in several designs in the Eastlake years? Heck, I gotta go look this stuff up - can't remember it anymore!
