I’m sure you’ve heard the advice before that:
"You can’t have too many bass traps!“
But you’ve probably also heard stories off people putting way too much absorption in their room and it ending up sounding over-damped, or even "dead“.
You get that...
I've already showed you a simple way to figure out if the bass trap you are thinking about getting for your room is a pressure (tuned/resonance/membrane) trap, or a velocity trap (porous, broadband), and what that means about how they work and how to use it.
But which type is actually the...
Are you having trouble finding the right bass trap for your studio?
You know you need more low end control, so you go online and you google "bass traps". But there are just so many different products and designs out there and they all sort of promise the same thing!

If you are working out of a home studio, you probably have a window somewhere in your room that you've been wondering about.
Is it causing a problem that you don't know about? What's the best way to treat the reflections coming off of the glass? Will curtains help?
In this video I want to show...
I’m sure you’ve heard the advice that you should always, and under all circumstances place your speakers at some apparently magic distance from the front wall.
If you’ve tried it and found that it sounds like crap, you’re not alone!
In fact it’s such bad advice, that...
A common trick to getting more out of your speakers and hearing better is to simply turn down the volume and mix at a low level.
It's certainly true that this will help you make better balancing decisions, hear punch, compression and dynamics better all around.
But the reason is not that you are...
The other day, I came across this picture on Facebook:
A speaker manufacturer is claiming how well a particular brand of studio desk works together with their speaker.
I gasped in disbelief. This is a good combination? Thankfully the comments jumped right on it.
I just wonder what would happen...
Have you ever wondered what impact it has on your studio sound if you open or close the door?
Today I'll show you why it's probably best to just keep your studio door closed, and why it has nothing to do with improving acoustics.
