These were great rooms. Quite large...maybe
20' x 20'.
The string room's interior was an
acoustical tile of some sort to give the room brilliance.
The horn room's interior was burlap covered
insulation which
gave the horns a nice sound.
Generally, from what I remember, it was rare when both rooms
would be used simultaneously.
The rule in most R&B sessions was horns
and strings were done
separately.
In fact if it was only a string session, that
would be done on the
studio floor. The extremely high ceiling made for good
string sounds.
The floor space that shows in this photograph accounts for
approximately 25% of the available studio floor space, so
you can get some idea how large the main room was.
