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...
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...
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...
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.

Here’s a ballsy statement that I’m sure we’ve all had at one point or other:
If people don’t listen to music in super well treated rooms with fully optimized speaker setups, then why mix in a treated room in the first place?
Doesn’t it make more sense to mix in an...
The low end in a home studio is a funny beast. I’m sure this isn’t news to you.
While you’re battling standing waves with everything you’ve got on one side, speaker boundary interference comes in to give you a hard low jab from the other side, only for the floor...
It finally happened.
Bask in the glory that is my first reaction video.
This week I thought I’d cover an acoustic treatment topic that is omnipresent, but I don’t think I’ve ever talked about before.

It finally happened.
You’ve asked a million times. And now it’s finally done.
I sat down with “Booth Junkie” Michael, and we recorded a masterclass on treating vocal booths and acoustic treatment for voice-over work.
It’s all in there, we left nothing...
