Have you ever wondered if a certain *thing (insert *beam/pillar/furniture/cubby/screen/etc here) in your room is causing an acoustic problem?

Maybe you've got a bunch of panels up on the wall and you're thinking that the wood frame is actually reflecting sound in a bad way.

Or there's an...

If there's one thing I WON'T tell you in any of my videos or emails, it's that you absolutely HAVE to treat your room.

In fact what I've learned over time is that for most people, just doing the basics is often enough. It's those first few measures that tend to bring the largest benefit.

Are you dealing with heaaavyyyyy bass build up in a corner or some part of your room?

So when you play some music all hell breaks loose?

And now you're wondering how to best tackle the problem?

Surely that can't be good...

Does this mean your room is particularly bad?

Can you even get...

Every once in a while when you're setting up speakers in a new room, you find that the phantom center ends up just that slight bit shifted to the side.

It's not crazy strong, but definitely noticeable.

And that even though you spent a not insignificant amount of time making sure the...

It's time for another lightning round of answering your questions from the YouTube comments!

In this week's video, let's talk about:

• Are bookshelves in corners...

You know that feeling you get when, after a late night of mixing, you get into the studio the next morning, feeling all excited, bubbly inside?

Cause you can't wait to hear how freakin' AWESOME the mix sounded you were working on last night?

So you make a quick cup of coffee, boot up your...

Are you one of those people who collects speakers like they're sneakers?

A different pair for each day of the week? (You know who you are..)

But even if you've just got that one set and it's not really working for you.

You can't really hear what's going on in the music, balancing is...

I don't know how it is for you. But whenever I see people's videos on YouTube I wonder:

What's outside of the frame that you've chosen?

What dirty little secrets are you hiding that you don't want me to see?

I bet you have a junk corner with all sorts of interesting crap.

And it...

A short one from me today.

Cause it's time for another lightning round of answering your questions from the YouTube comments!

In this week's video, let's talk about:

• Combining insulation material of different densities.
• Why I don't talk about Hifi listening rooms.
• How to fix the bass at...

Have you ever posted on a forum (or read someone's post) about how to get started treating your room, and the echo chamber responded:

"You gotta measure your room first!"

I keep reading this over and over again, and every time I think:

Great, another soul lost down the rabbit hole. See...

One thing that is REALLY hard to judge when you first dive into the endless pit that is studio acoustics:

How much treatment do you actually need?

And how much are you actually getting for your money?

Like.. how well can you actually expect it to work when you say, put 12 panels in your...

I wanted to give some love back to all of you who have been commenting my YouTube videos and getting… crickets.

Truth is: YouTube comments are just one of the many things that got cut when prioritizing to move this ship forwards.

BUT I do read them and appreciate anyone who takes the...
