Any advice on Focal Shape 50 + Focal Sub One for EDM/DNB?
@z00jar15 сағат бұрын
Focal sub one goes down to 25hz, most dnb/edm rolls off at 30hz; 8" is enough

Can a 285*285*280cm room work? 😢 I'm planning on getting two 4 inch speakers, are those too big? Or just enough for a room this size? I have a desk that's 50cm deep so it's not really big, and the 38% distance from the wall is 100cm so it's very close to the 142,5cm center of the room, im so confused as to what to do, but i ain't moving any time soon so what can i do?

The whole sine wave cancellation reasoning is oversimplified to the max. Hundreds of different frequencies that vary during the music, and then change entirely with a new piece, new band, new singer, etc etc. Bananas.

Isn't bass trapping just trial at error? For example, I have a 14db peak at 80hz at my specific listening position. If I try bass traps then surely they are just as likely to produce unwanted nulls at other bass frequencies? Surely the better (and cheaper by a factor of many times) is just room correct with eq? I've done that with my WiiMs 10 peq slots per channel and feel that it would have been near impossible to achieve the same result with bass traps. What am I missing?

Hallo. Ich danke Dir für die Informationsreichen Videos. Ich habe eine Frage. Wenn es die Nachbarn nicht stören würde, oder man hat keine Nachbaren... dann könnte man statt "Basstraps" die Bassfrequenzen doch aus dem Raum fliehen lassen? Müsste da mann dünne Wände haben? Absorber und Diffussoren wirken ja nicht im Bassbereich. Gruss aus der Schweiz.

Hi Jesco. Thank you for your work! I have a few questions: What is sweetspot's search algorithm? How to arrange monitors when searching for sweetspot? should I use both monitors at once or only one? At what point do you plug in the subwoofer when searching for sweetspot? When is it better to look for sweetspot, when the room is without accoustic treatment or when some treatment is already done? Or should I do it both ways? If you can answer these questions, please! Thanks again.

He might be overly fixated, but that’s how life often is. However, his case does remind us to carefully consider whether the issues in the room truly need to be fully resolved, especially when the room is excessively small or has poor proportions.

I'm not a fan of room eq, but a 3db dip at 80hz might be a perfect candidate for a simple 3db boost at that frequency. It's not needed, but it wouldn't hurt either.
@FOH36638 күн бұрын
An 80hz dip is often associated with quarter-wave boundary nulling ... dialing in 3dB boost halves the headroom.

I have recently started to dabble in room acoustics for my two channel audio listening room. I know that you’re normally against taking on non-pro audio clients, but I am uncompromising when it comes to my two channel listening (no esthetic constraints whatsoever). I could use some advice. Interested in your services…
@glebglub9 күн бұрын
I'm no pro, but here's the process as far as I understand it: first get your positioning as correct as possible (typically an equilateral triangle between each speaker and listening position), then use REW EQ Wizard to find your problem areas (as you are uncompromising, purchasing the calibrated microphone is an option, if not making your own file for the microphone(s) you own from their EQ curves) and do it again after *every* change you make including moving furniture about (can also use REW to help with positioning of course, testing the viability of facing one wall vs another because of windows, doors etc). work on the nulls first (most likely bass frequencies, so bass traps, MLV, etc.to kill standing waves, maybe some sound absorbing foam triangles for high frequencies) then the major dips, remember glass is highly reflective, which can either be a detriment or an advantage, depending how you use them - if it's a detriment, get the heaviest, thickest curtains you can find to block sound getting to them and causing reflections and standing waves once everything's within say less than 3dB use an EQ to bring it to neutral, save that for a studio flat-line reference, and then tweak for your taste for listening enjoyment. again, I'm no pro, this is just how I understand it so far

For the next Q&A Knowledge Bomb: I’m building my own desk for my studio, and I had an interesting thought I’d like you to consider. The desk will be a standing desk, and it’s about 4 ft from the front wall. I’ll need a way to hide cables. Rather than just putting a piece of wood on the back, what if I made it out of acoustic insulation that was covered on both sides by fabric? Would this have any benefit at all?

What if the back wall can be taken out of the equation entirely-ish. I positioned my studio so the French doors are centered in the back wall, about 5 meters away. I have massive gobos covering the doors that can be moved, but I can also open the patio doors all the way, creating about 3.5 square meter opening. Does bass just flow right on out the hole int he wall? Does it make any difference? The only reason I have this option is because I live quite remote in the mountains so the only noise is wind and the occasional little beastie wandering about. I did this mostly for options during the recording process. Most significantly, would this change the acoustics of the room enough to confuse my learning of the room for mixing? Or maybe another arrow in the quiver for mixing listening options? Thank you for your time sir

You’re an FN genius for using notebook for this. Dude I’d love to collaborate with you on some interesting treatment ideas and designs I’ve come up with thru trial and error in my own space. It’d be too difficult to get my point across thru email so would you be interested in working out a call or zoom or something and just for a few minutes of your time? Look at it like this, if u don’t like my ideas, you can tell me to get lost idiot, an that’s always fun, or I’m on to something and we potently give acoustics a much needed update /upgrade then we go down in history for changing the game!! and for me ,well, I hit the drawing board BUT continue to watch your vids an learn no matter what you think…Frankly it’s a win win for both of us either way!!!😂😂😂 don’t mind my corny attempt at being funny, can’t help it when I get excited about an idea🤷♂️😂Thanks Jes my friend appreciate all you do

I really liked the format, and hope you do something similar in future. As a layman, it’s difficult to get into the science and understand the papers. The AI did an incredible job of translating the jargon into something I could understand easily, with some surprisingly impressive analogies. The issue with AI (and with random forum threads online), is that the summaries can be wrong, misleading, or cherry-picked. Having you, an expert, essentially act like a referee, allows me to get the data simplified for me, whilst being confident in its accuracy. I hope you do this again with other topics, particularly ones that debunk commonly believed myths!
