Most of us DIY home studio folks are really stuck with the cards we’re dealt, aka a spare bedroom, basement or attic that we then convert to a studio.

So usually we’re not really able to chose where the studio door should go.

But sometimes we have a few options for different rooms to pi...

In my last video I talked about finding the right size computer screen for your home studio setup (it’s actually a speaker placement question).

As a follow up, our fellow no-voodoo brother Ben C. asked me what happens though when your room is exactly 8 feet high and you end up placing your ...

I got this excellent question from a follower last week:

"I’m looking for buying a new computer screen/monitor and would like a modern 34” or 38” ultra wide screen. But because of my small room I have some problems to not have the screen interfere with the line of sight of the speakers. I c...

This week let’s talk bass trapping again. 

Placing bass traps in particular.

Because when you’re trying to tackle that endlessly confusing topic of low end control in your home studio, it can be so easy to get caught up in rabbit holes that have you questioning your sanity in no time.

Usually I’d have another video for you today.

But something weird I’ve noticed about video is that the time it takes to produce it seems to go up proportionally with the length of the video.

A question that pops up time and time again on panel mounting is this:

Should your panels sit flush against the wall, or should there be an air gap behind them?

But does it even make any difference? And is t...

In this first video of the year I want to focus on a simple question, but one that can easily drag you down into a complicated rabbit hole:

Should you hang your panels vertically or horizontally on the wall?

Is there a significant difference between these two options? Which orientation ...

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 wha...

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 you’r...

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 have two ch...

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

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

Maybe you’r...
