When was the last time you optimized your workflow in your studio?

Because if you want consistent results (aka the mix that translates every time), nothing is going to get you there apart from an absolutely rock-solid, proven process of steps from start to finish.

There’s a reason that the pros...

Over the past weeks Graham of Music City Acoustics and I have been showing you step-by-step how to treat a home studio.

If you’ve missed those episodes, check them out here.

And unsurprisingly, there were a TON of questions about the whole thing.

So we decided to do a follow-up Q&A session.

Home Studios are full of compromises that we have to deal with to get the best sound.

Sometimes a door is inconveniently placed in a corner that you want to use for bass trapping.

Or the wall you’d ideally want to face with your setup has a huge window in it.

Or one side is made of concrete bu...

I’m sure you’ve wondered this at some point or other:

Is it really OK for your health to have all that mineral or glass wool around you in your studio?

Surely that stuff can’t be good for you, right?

I mean, those tiny little fibers must go everywhere.

What actually happens in your body when ...

Sub-bass control with resonance traps. The holy grail of studio acoustics.

When it comes down to it, the lowest of the lowest audio frequencies can really only be properly absorbed with targeted, tuned resonance absorbers.

For most of us DIY audio engineers, this tends to be outside the scope o...

If you’ve been following my start-to-finish room treatment series with Graham from MusicCityAcoustics, I’m sure you’ve thought:

“Yeaaaah, that looks great ‘n all… But how well does it work?”

Well today we’re going to find out.

In this video we’ll show you how it all measures up.

Graham took d...

Last week Graham (from Music City Acoustics) and I started treating his new demo room by showing you in detail how to correctly place the desk and speakers.

This week, we are moving on to actually treating the room.

We’ll show you exactly how we placed acoustic panels and bass traps to treat th...

Have you noticed that there are actually surprisingly few videos online that walk you through the entire acoustic treatment of a home studio, step-by-step?

Starting with the empty room and the placement of the desk and speakers, all the way through planning, building and installing the treatment...

So you know Dolby Atmos, right?

It’s been quite the hype lately. And justifyingly so.

Some things tell me it’s here to stay.

But it’s a new technology!

For us sound engineers, there’s still quite a barrier to entry.

Price is a major problem.

A Dolby Atmos system with even just decent speake...

Have you ever wondered how different tips on acoustics seem to make sense on their own, but when you try and put them together it literally becomes impossible?

Like maybe trying to follow the 38% “rule” with your listening position, while keeping your speakers either right up to, or reaaallly fa...

One of the things you’ll hear repeated regularly if you go down the DIY bass trap rabbit hole is:

You can’t control bass with porous absorbers. You need resonance absorbers (membrane, Helmholtz, whatever). Period.

Well, I beg to differ. :D

As always, it’s not a matter of possible or not, but H...
