With the rise of people building their home studio, I don't know why this channel ain't bigger than it should be. This is one of the best channels for learning such, if not the best.
I agree. Its a really helpful resource considering the amount of disinformation and snake oil one has to wade through to get some unbiased info. Thanks John and Ron!
@@bwatson8066 I remember when I was forced to build a small audio post production in small room (compared to dubbing stage for films) Johns advice helped me the most, even his room calculators, helped me so much to at least make a decent room to work on.
Right at the end 'so it passes through the material twice' Is this true for panels that are off the wall but not sealed on the sides? (Eg - A free hanging 3inch 3 inches of the wall vs a sealed box 6 inches deep with a front face of the same pannal, 3 inches deep with a 3 inch void behind) Does the 'velocity bass' pass through or go around? Or does sealing the sides just 'add' pressure element to the panel
Sealing the sides will contain the air in back of the panel and that will be able to compress due to the pressure. So you will have the additional absorption from compression. That's a pressure trap.
John, how about best setup in small rooms, 10' wide x 12' deep. Bedrooms. Speaker placement, reverb goals, freq response, mix/listening room (discuss with Ron)
More absorption ABOVE your ears will not stop 1st reflections but it WILL lower the overall decay. I put treatment above and below the ear level for increased sabine count. We need to get a certain level of absorption especially in a critical listening room.

Greg, THANK you so much! I'm doing a few more vids tomorrow with Ron. :D

I was outside last night and the sound was bouncing nicely off small accidental metal panel . Also stone is natural resonator 😍

You'll have to contact me directly and get a plan. Every room is different and requires a different spec. (I do this for a living. 😉)
Yes, but more absorption (wall space above or below ear level) will lower overall decay in the room correct? Ceiling? Stop 1st reflections?
