For most careers, sound is used as a means of communicating important thoughts, ideas, and information. It is precisely for this reason that you are unlikely to ever see an office space with high ceilings and wooden floors, as people would be unable to communicate clearly with each other due to the echo effects of the structure architectural. Instead, office spaces have relatively low ceilings and carpeting to reduce the number of reflections from a sound source. This allows our voices to be heard clearly by the intended audience, whether it's a cubicle neighbor or a group of people in a conference room. However, a large number of industrial workplaces produce noise pollution from machinery. For these particular environments, sound absorption and insulation techniques are used to reduce noise pollution and create safer sound environments for employees. With this concept of using and disposing of sound, we can take a closer look at a career in music production, a job that meticulously considers all aspects of sound. While engineers who produce "album albums" depend largely on their choice of equipment and their ears, the environment in which they record, mix and master plays a huge role in the clarity and overall soundscape. These days, it is not uncommon for sound engineers to have home studios - in fact, many contemporary studios operate from the engineer's home because it is convenient, relatively affordable and can produce results comparable to those of a studio built for the very purpose of making music. Most recording studios consist of a control room, a studio performance area, and a smaller booth where vocals are most often recorded ("Design Considerations").

Although most rooms in a home are not ideal for recording, in the beginning, careful planning can go a long way in transforming a simple bedroom or office into a control room, or turning a small storage space into a your own soundproofing cabin. With a little time, your home can become the workplace of your dreams. Works Cited “Design Considerations for Recording Studios.” SoundControlRoom.com.
