With current computer processing power and technological developments these days, the entire process of making hit records can be done in home studios, unless obviously, you need an actual orchestra! People with home studios frequently don’t understand just how vital the acoustic ambience is. We have a tendency to get more exhilarated about spending a few hundred dollars on new acoustic diffuser panels treating a room.
My lecture on acoustic underlay can be six hours long and sometimes it can be hard keeping some of the more musical and less scientific students interested, specifically when I start on the standing waves. If we are in a small room, a great way of vibing things up is to measure the distance between two parallel robust walls and try to generate a standing wave.
I always had a problem with bass in my studio. I am fortunate to have very high ceilings but sadly I think most of my bass gets lost up there in the chandelier. I do a bit of bottom end but much further back from my seated position in front of the computers. I have treated my room behind my monitors and I have some bookshelves at the back with act as sound tiles for the mid frequencies.
It is troublesome, but I know the curves so well now in the space, I can make it work. The box will then tweak your curve and theoretically, you will get a much truer curve when you position the microphone. I will get back to you with my thoughts and I am sure that if it is really as good as they say, they will sell bucket loads. Well, the thought of getting sound boards for walls got me on the standing waves here in the first place!
