- Francis Buckley. Grammy winning Audio Engineer. All round great guy. Project studio fairy godmother?
In Studio Rescue we join Francis as he visits a range of home studios and combines the fundamentals of acoustic science with a few hard-earned industry secrets to get the most out of the available space.
In a new take on the rescue, Francis visits David Calderon who is in the planning stage of his home studio and needs some advice on which room in his house he should set up in.
Is your studio in need of rescue? Visit www.studiorescue.com and Francis might just be knocking on your door next!

I love the horrible acting in this lol
THE OTHER 11 ARE WORST!!!!!!! LOL
its not that bad come on
Ctfuu
Best show about handshakes
you guys should bring this back
"Hey Francis, we gotta bring that desk in here."
*Francis rolls a new desk out of thin air*
1st Room: “I’m terrified at the prospect of moving that desk!”
2nd Room (empty): Wooow! This room is great! - *I hope he doesn’t know that the windows in here make this room the worst studio in the universe*
A good follow up episode would be to see if everyone who had a studio rescue, had improvement.
You are absolutely right Michael. The ideal listening setup is with the crossover point between the tweeter and bass driver facing directly at the ears. However, Studio Rescue is all about making the most of the space and equipment that you have available, when the ideal setup is not always immediately possible. The EVENT Opals have an advanced waveguide that helps to widen the sweet spot when listening at less than ideal positions, but some well placed speaker stands would help! Well spotted!
Can u guys come rescue my studio? Please bring me a mic too and maybe a macbook pro and a desktop mac thnx lmao
Lmfao for reals
edit name hilarious -_- stupid.
yeh and i also need a tv
Listen to that sound difference from about 2:00 compared to around 11:00 minutes. The echoey sound is pretty much gone.
I didn't realize that great catch!!!!
TeeDub wow, you're right. That is pretty awesome
CalicoShellz how did you not catch that lol that’s literally the point of the video
Would love a room that big as my studio
Please please please change those net curtains.
+Prawnchowmein How Thick Felt or Velvet Curtains.
any type, please just change them I haven't been able to sleep properly since I saw those net curtains. Im having counselling to help me get over this. I will even send the money to you to change them, Please just change them the world would be a better place if you did.I know you are a good person so please find time to do this.If my offer is not enough please just tell me how much extra money you need to just take them down, fortunately I am well off so any reasonable amount should be ok.
LMAO!!!!
Hello ... I saw francis total 11 videos and I'm grateful for what shows them ... Greetings!
This is my favorite of his studio rescues. He should make more videos like this
I watched all these a few years ago and I finally learned proper speaker placement. It changed my life! Anyway, my audio. THANKS!
David has the personality of a rock
This is probably the best one I've seen. Besides the charming corniness, these episodes are very very helpful
I just love this series.
The circus background music was perfect 😂😂😭😂
love this show. learned so much from every episode!
thanks for these very helpful videos. I watched them all and obeyed them, and I learned speaker placement really makes all the difference. My system sounds incredibly better now. thanks again!
Thank you, thank you, and thank you for making these videos!
Thanx for your knowledge patience and education in studio preparation. I had recently purchased pro home recording equipment and used a lot of tips from this show. Education in all areas are keys to life, thank you for helping me open a new door.
Hi Mr. Buckley, I am setting up my own studio currently in a nice sized room I have in my basement! I have to say its really helped me watching your videos. As it turns out you are actually my second cousin if you can believe it. My mother is your cousin Susan "Susy" Carroll. Its really awesome seeing a relative doing somthing me and my older brother share a passion with. Please keep the videos coming they are swell. And my mom says "Hello".
That's fantastic...
Great episode man! You hooked David up like crazy! Lucky duck.
how many hand shake did this guys is shaking .. whao
Yeah it's be neat to see more ground up studio jobs with these guys.
The Flexi Wall is made by a company call 'Vicoustic'. we can't post links in the comments section (youtube limitation) but if you search for Vicoustic on Google, their page should be one of the top results. You'll be able to view their list of USA dealers from there.
Love this!
amazing studio ;) and amazing speakers
@jobbitydun In such a small space reflections and standing waves are going to be an issue so good sound treatment is essential. The first place to treat is at the point along the wall of first reflection, (there's some great tips in Studio Rescue for finding this). The second thing to look at is sound de-fusion at the back wall, and finally I would want to look at bass traps in the corners. Good luck and thanks for watching!
nice Speakers Event Opals ! I love them !
this is like extreme home makeover for studios lol I'm definitely signing up. Damn I hope he comes thru.
Actually glass works as a free reflector, so this room is kinda ideal to make a studio in. wood planks and rock wool will work better than those foam pads any day though!
Francis uses velcro tape to stick foam acoustic panels to the walls, although you might have some trouble getting them off later on without damaging your paint. If you get in touch with Primacoustic, they should be able to tell you the best way to mount your particular panels without damaging your walls.
wow that's awesome! I recently purchased a RODE NT4 recently and i love it!
plz make more !
The guy keeps saying "I'm down", somebody please help him up!
The funny thing is that he is down, the monitors are a little high :-P
You guys NEED to come to Canada !!!
6 people need their studio rescued
Wish y’all were still doing this
Awesome video
Nice... cool show
the acting is painful lol, but there are some good tips
@Gerard2286 Yeah we do - just use the link in the description to apply for rescuing!
Best episode I seen so far. It's nothing on a pro level, but still pretty cool. Good job!
Studio rescue or the handshake show? :D
Its called stages
That man is 90 years hold in this vid!
francis, come to london and do a series
A very useful program and help us dream
Love it man.Job Great Guys! And Yous both have the same type Monitors :)
I need this table!!
This is the first one of these I've really liked:S
love those opalz and enjoy the vids - funny at times but also informative!!
11/10
Amazing
I really want to do a series like this in Rio de Janeiro! Always thought of it!
No, it's not called an apex. It's called a vertex. And your head and ears are not at that point. The Stereo Vertex Point (the focused point where the speakers are aimed behind your head) should be 14" min. to 16" max. behind your Listening Position (ear line).
Those little PreSonus Audioboxes are pretty cool.
Yeah I've heard the Opals were really great monitors. Hopefully David invests in a set of speaker stands. Thanks for the great videos and community support.

Season 2? I learn so much from this.
dope setup
I don't know what frequencies they exactly are for but the bass traps in the corners are there to control the low frequency range!
@JonChicagoDeepGarcia Thanks Jon. We're accepting applications for the second season now via the link in the video description, and are looking to premiere it later this year.
Yeah I agree Francis should incorporate a clap/shout test before and after in his studio upgrade videos.
great video ...thanx a lot
love this show lol
@AlexVictorEverett
It is. Basically in any normal room you want to absorb as much bass frequencies as you can, because frequencies from, say 40 to 300 Hz is in the modal region where sound waves develop standing waves. This results in local reinforcement and cancellation of frequencies that can be as high as 20-30 db and the dips can be very, very low (in theory sound pressure at the cancellation points is zero) dips. Any amount of bass you can absorb makes the room acoustically bigger.
really cool
I like how they all act surprised when they get the mic. They probably saw one of these videos before. And all of them (except one I think) get a mic. They know theyre getting it.
Sr francis buckley los felicito un cordial saludos es muy impresionante lo que usted hace Dios me lo Bendiga hojala hubieran personas en el mundo como usted como pudiera ayudarme con el material para escuchar musica ya que es imposible en venezuela un gran abrazo
You guys should show how professional studios are setup. That would be really interesting. Maybe some of the science behind acoustics also. Other ideas like, what materials go into making the panels and the types.. diffusion vs. absorption etc. I would love to see this in the second series.
Its a fantastic projekt
Francis Buckley is the Mark Hamill of audio engineers
são muito boas as dicas desse cara.
@Calcard94 Hey Calcard. We're looking at Atlanta USA for the next season, but being Aussie we'll certainly be bringing the studio rescue home in future, so definitely worth getting in now.
Small rooms can be useful sometimes - can help you hit lower frequencies.
@nichampagne The site seems to be working on our end - feel free to PM your application to our UA-cam account/channel
nice job!
@jobbitydun 8' X 6'6" whilst not being ideal is more than enough for a mixing space, it compares to the type of size room broadcast audio deals with on a day to day basis in their outside broadcasts trucks. The speaker placement should be along the 6'6" length at least 1" away from any wall. This would give a space between the speakers of 4'6" which should be a good distance to create an equilateral triangle between the listening spot (where you are sitting) and the two speakers.
Best acting ever
I wonder the cost of acoustic panels and bass traps needed for room size of 12' × 14' and shipping to Canada .
Thanks guys! this show has given me heaps of great ideas for a home studio setup. Out of curiosity, is that one of the Carillon creation station desks?
i need a studio rescue!
Why do people act surprised when the mic comes along, one episode Francis should come out with a signed photo of him at the beach. AW YEAH courtesy of the generous folks Rode Mics
Isn't the ideal height for the speakers to be parallel tweeter-ears? Plus when we calculate height we neve take into account how much we coil forward and loose the sweetspot. Also, in my opinion, the equilateral angle of the listener to calculate the speaker position should be measured around 12-16 inches behind so the sides of this triangle cut perfectly your ear
Thank you
Just finished watching all the videos and rescued my own studio. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'd like to share the before and after pictures with Francis to show my thanks :) Where can I send them?
We're planning to shoot a second series early next year. We'll be notifying everyone on the RODE news list, you can subscribe on our website.
You can hear in the video, room acoustics still sound bad even after application of $500 worth of foam, sure looks neat though.
Yeah noticed that too. Before they put it up you could clearly hear reflections, so I was really wondering what it would sound after they put up the panels. Although it helped a bit, it still wasn't that much better imo.
Hi Francis, I am curious to know how these foam acoustic panels are supposed to be mounted to the walls most accurately. I am in the process of setting up my home studio and want to install a nice kit from Primacoustic but I don't want to damage the walls.
notice there is no echo after acoustic panels this is great
just wondering if you are going to continue the series?
Gah dang I'd like to have that pair of Events.
Hi guys! I have question: Can i use these flexi-walls to control the first reflections of my monitor speakers too? Or is that stuff just for vocal recording? this could be the ideal solution for my room, because on one side there's a window and on the other side i can't put anything on the wall...
Thx in advance and btw: Great Videos!
Damn hot studio
I'm in this exact same spot Lol... All my equipment is almost here and I'm not sure if I use my huge walk in closet which is a bedroom in itself of the spare bedroom Lol... #StaySafe & #StayBlessed 😎👍
hi Mr Francis
I want to know the name of the company that buys them foam and pass trap and reflection filter
hey mate! was wondering if you had any ideas for a dual, or triple monitor setup? having 2+ screens takes up a lot of desk space, and im finding it hard to have the speakers in optimal positions..thanks :)
I know these videos are old but I've been watching all the episodes i can find hoping to maybe get some help on how to improve the acoustics of my room to achieve better mixes. Please help me if you're still helping Francis
A question I have is i'm moving in 3 weeks and my setup is not centered in the room and I have a project that needs to be finished. Would hanging blankets from one wall, one from the ceiling to make a makeshift wall and one from the back wall help balance the sound to get a good mix so it doesn't sound bad when rendering it to disk to be distributed??
