  • 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.
    This time around Francis drops in on James Hunt who has a typical project studio set up in his bedroom. With plenty of equipment he's having problems getting the right sound and has asked Francis to lend a helping hand.
    Is your studio in need of rescue? Visit www.studiorescue.com and Francis might just be knocking on your door next!

      So I don’t think he will change back after he realizes that he can get a great mix

    @SpeedFreakNO Francis says that the panels on the back wall are placed so they catch waves coming directly from the speakers. He usually starts with the area in the center of the wall and see how that works. Again don't use too much, start with 1 or 2 panels and see how that sounds. Every room is different. You could also try some kind of diffuser to not absorb the wave but break it up so it doesn't bounce right back at you.

  • @agentsixsix
    @agentsixsix 5 років тому +3

    9:20 That's not a vocal booth. That's just a piece of foam on the least sensitive side of your microphone. Thus letting in all of the room noise from the front, below and above. It does prevent the natural voice sound waves hitting the wall behind it, but don't think you're there in creating a silent recording space just using a curved piece of foam! The foam should be positioned behind your head, not behind the microphone.
    Tip 2: often a large diaphragm condenser mic could maybe not the best option for recording in a non-quiet space. Consider a decent shotgun, especially when doing voice-overs.

    @Subparanon 12 років тому

    That's easy actually. First reflection is any hard surface directly to the left and right of the listener. You can use a mirror to find it. Sit down where your listening position is. Have an assistent move a hand mirror along the wall to the left or right of you and when you can see the speaker in the mirror tell them to stop and put a panel there. That gets you 80% there. Next panel behind your speakers at wall in between and to rear of them. Add bass traps in corner to taste and you're done.

    i think its better to have the speakers wide to make a better stereo image, even more than having the equilateral triangle, because you still have a sweet spot by pointing em at you.
    is this true to some one else? ( i had to move speakers around for 3 days to get this hypothesis).
