. Books and stuff! Recommended reading list Here's a list of books that are highly recommended for helping you with the design, construction and treatment of your studio or other acoustic space, as well as just general understanding of acoustics and psycho-acoustics. I have read all of these, and t...

Excellent idea, Andre! I'll certainly do that.

When I have the time, I'll be putting together a page in this section of the forum, with several studios that I have designed, but for now, here's a link to one of my favorites: Studio 3 Productions, Missouri, USA. News report about the studio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjRhalcAlGY Photos of t...

Still playing catch-up on Jennifer's epic post! ;) First order of business is getting these monitors into soffits. Hopefully this will directly or indirectly solve or contribute to solving many of problems 1-5. Soffits! Yes! Definitely! My favorite subject... For sure flush-mounting your speakers wi...

Thank you for the swift and very enlightening reply Stuart. It's incredibly helpful. I'll post some answers now, hopefully it won't interrupt your flow of posts. :thu: As you say, isolating room 2 a bit more will help. I reckon some batwing gasket style seals and a drop seal in the room 2 door, lik...

Nice to see the new forum taking form. ... Scott aka Dr Space http://oresundspacecollective.bandcamp.com By the way: Welcome to the forum, Scott! It's great to have you here! Feel free to invite your friends and acquaintances to join up as well: the more the merrier! - Stuart -

It's certainly possible to mix pretty much anywhere, if you take the time to learn the place, but part of the issue is making it easy, I think. In a great room, it's a lot easier to do mixes that translate well, first time, every time. Sure, you can do the same in a not-so-good room, but why make yo...

Wow! Andre is here! This is great. A very warm welcome to you, Grand Master of Acoustics!

Oh yeah! Egg cartons... Darn it! ... I completely forgot about those... :) :shot: Of course, what will REALLY make a big difference, is using some of that special US$ 10,000 per meter cable, to hook up your speakers.... That stuff is incredible! (... said no sane person, ever.... :) ) :D - Stuart -

OK, part #2 of my reply! On to the speakers now... Genelec 8030a: Nice! I like those. Should be a good match for your room as well. And they can be flush-mounted! :) More on that later... Monitor bass tilt is not applied - there is some boost above flat but I like it. My mixes are not light on bass ...

Alright! I've been working my way through your epic post, and I've got some comments. First, great job on what you have accomplished so far! Congratulations on a really nice looking studio, and on the work you have done in there. I took at looks at your website, and it's quite impressive. First, a q...

That's great! It's always good when practical implementations work like theory says they should.... :) If you have other types of insulation, other than RW5, it would be interesting to see what effect they have. If you feel like experimenting, you could even try some of the "myths, legends, and...
