We keep talking about treating our home studios for mixing purposes.
But of course many of us actually do a fair bit of recording in the same room as well.
So what does that change in terms of acoustic treatment?
What do you focus on first?
How do you approach the problem?
In this...
Better late than never: Happy New Year!
Let's start 2022 with another Knowledge Bomb, answering your YouTube comments questions in a video because I feel guilty that I don't have the time to get in the weeds myself.
As always, the video is broken down into chapters.

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

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...

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.
