Knowledge Bomb #4: Tube traps, plastic wrap, desk selection and more!

youtube comments q&a

Better late than never: Happy New Year!

Let's start 2022 with another Knowledge Bomb, answering your YouTube comments questions in a video because I feel guilty that I don't have the time to get in the weeds myself.

As always, the video is broken down into chapters.

So binge the whole thing, or jump to the question relevant to you:

  • Ported vs non-ported speakers
  • Setting up a studio in non-ideal conditions
  • What do you think about tube traps?
  • Don’t low frequencies need more space
  • Is my 8” woofer speaker too big for my room?
  • Can woofers smaller than 8” produce real bass?
  • Wrap insulation material in plastic foil?
  • Tom Hiddley broadband absorption?
  • Mixing in untreated rooms
  • Measuring pink noise to match speaker volumes
  • Use EQ on back of speakers to match speaker response?
  • Picking a studio desk

Stop Guessing Where Your Speakers Go

Your mixes don't translate because your speakers aren't positioned right. The Phantom Speaker Test shows you exactly where to place them in ANY room—no measurements needed.

Used by 1000+ engineers. Takes 30 minutes.
