Fantastic primer for acoustic treatment! I have studied this field for sometime I know much more than the average consumer. I still found this video to be very entertaining! I am a retired electrical engineer. That probably explains my interest!

[@davegik]

Thanks Jim, it is intended a gentle introduction to get the principles. In more recent lectures (and where w have more time) we also encourage room testing now as well and explain a little more about that

Thank you for the excellent content

[@wtfobiden]

Thats great you chose lyle lovett and his large band.. Nice album for showing off great Dynamics and detail of recording quality through a true 2 channel stereo system

[@sunsetrecording6952]

TTT TripleT Indeed, The Lyle choice made me nod my head knowingly. The Road to Ensenada has tracks I use for reference, if I’m mixing a expansive, cinematic and dynamic piece.

[@olima021prod]

Excelent So, small rooms, speakears next to the wall?

[@REBELDONOG]

Excellent.. Thank you

[@photomusicman9413]

Gik Acoustics are a fantastic company.

[@baseballstud9121]

Really well explained

[@vitaliistep]

Thank you.

Great presentation David

I've often wondered if it would be worth the manufacturing efforts to develop multi-pane windows where the space between the panes was as close to vacuum as you could get.

[@nonyadamnbusiness9887]

No, for a lot of different reasons. There are windows manufactured of two different thicknesses of glass laminated together. That does reduce sound transmission at a reasonable cost, but nothing is perfect.

Is using thick floor rugs a good idea for a home production studio?

[@petervadasz]

Thanks for this great vid, very very useful!

[@Simple_Math444]

Excellent

[@martindye]

What about 5.1 cinema room setups? I guess the same applies, unless you actually want to reflect off the ceiling with dolby atmos.

[@tohuxtable]

thanks!

I have a large window (6' x 6') behind my listening chair. My speakers are set up in front of a solid wall opposite the window. Obviously I can't put room treatments where the window is located behind my chair. So, should I flip the orientation of my room and have the speakers by the window and my listening chair by the solid wall?

[@sunsetrecording6952]

Cla55clown Portable, hanging diffusion over the window is my first thought. Flipping the room orientation would create a somewhat different issue with your glass. Absorption, even in the form of acoustic drapes would help your situation as well.

[@balderasruiz]

Great video, shouldnt audio be better?

[@davegik]

Irony of the High End, in a place with the worlds best sound systems and the one you get to use and the room is terrible. Makes for some fun irony though I suppose :)

[@lastnight3328]

lmao

[@CHROMATICFILMS]

Geeesh what did you expect an 11.1 Dolby Atmos mix? Its a freaking Power Point presentation! Get over yourselves please. If you cant hear what he is saying you are probably deaf and should take up a different hobby.

[@DopeDoo]

Obrigado!

[@Str8representing]

Why you no acoustic treatment affects how neighbors hear you? As I understand it, acoustic treatment reduces db levels of certain frequencies, and that is perceived volume, so I'd assume that it should work?

[@sunsetrecording6952]

Str8representing beats It doesn’t work that way. Absorption/ diffusion of sound is very different from stopping sound transmission. Especially lower frequency’s. Even big corner “bass traps” don’t absorb it all.

[@TweezerBleezer123]

This video is about sound treatment not sound proofing

[@poorkidd]

Helpful but audio is terrible...

[@photohum]

Christopher Kidd room needs treatment 😁👍🏻
