If you’re just about to set up a new home studio and the only option for a room you’ve got is on the small end, then I’ll bet you’ve wondered:

Is this room TOO small?

Is it even possible to get good sound in a room this size?

Or is it a lost cause and you...

Have you ever wondered what a GOOD frequency response in a studio actually looks like?

Cause it's not like you see a lot of them floating around. Pro studios and acousticians definitely seem to like keeping 'em under wraps..

How much does it actually improve with treatment? 

And what...

Have you ever looked at the frequency response of your room and thought:

Is this really what my room sounds like?

Is it really THAT bad?

It’s so easy to get worried that there might be a serious problem that you don’t know anything about.

How is there any way to trust what...

Are you getting enough low end extension from your speakers?

Or do they start to drop off where things get interesting, and you’re wondering if it’s worth upgrading to something bigger. 

So you can really feel that punch in the chest and the bass in your gut.

Usually you...

Are you currently looking at a new space for your studio? 

It happens so often. Home studios are usually actually in our homes after all. And if you move, well, so does your studio unfortunately.

And sometimes you get lucky and you actually have two potential candidates.

Maybe...

Does your room have a carpeted floor? Or are you thinking about putting down a carpet?

Because you often read that that’s one of the first things you should do if you’re just getting started with treating your room. And it does reduce the reverb in the room a little after all.

...

When and how to use diffusion correctly in a small home studio can be a bit of a.. mystery.

I mean, what are they even supposed to do in the first place? Do they just… work, no matter where you put them?

Or can you actually mess something up if you don’t use them correctly?

...

One of the most difficult things to get right in your home studio is soundproofing.

Making sure you don’t bother the neighbors or the rest of the house.

You’re budget only stretches so far, but you have to find a way to reduce any noise escaping through that open staircase or...

If you’re setting up a studio in a new room, or you’re thinking of switching to a different room, you’ve probably come across the idea of ideal room dimensions or optimizing ratios.

And maybe you’re actually in a position where you’re seriously considering...

If you’re searching for a new speaker for your studio, you’ve probably wondered what the best size for your room is.

Should you get a speaker with a 5-inch woofer? Or maybe 6-inch? Or maybe even 8-inch?

What about speakers with a horizontal driver layout instead of a vertical...

After my last video, I got the following question:

“I have problems with some peaks in the bass and to me it looks like if I put in broadband absorbers it will absorb more in the frequencies that I don't have problems with. Won't that give more/other problems?"

That's a valid...

What do you think of when you hear the word "bass trap"?

A triangular foam wedge? A square box wrapped in fabric? A tube trap?

Bass traps come in so many different sizes, shapes, thicknesses and densities. It can be super confusing!

But what actually is a "bass trap" when it comes down...
