Auralex Acoustics has introduced new ProMAX Panels — stand-mounted, portable StudioFoam absorbers — which will be on display at the upcoming NAMM 2012 show in Anaheim, booth 6798. The new ProMAX panels are light weight yet highly effective absorption treatment for “run-and-gun” recording and performance applications such as studio rentals, live events and temporary recording. They can be used in any location where mounting acoustical treatments to the wall are not possible or ideal. The flexible absorption panels are simple…

This article is provided by Home Studio Corner. A while back I had the pleasure of attending a seminar given by Gavin Haverstick of Haverstick Designs. The topic of the seminar was how to measure the acoustic issues of your room. He talked about various measurement techniques and devices. All of this was very interesting, but the most fascinating part for me was during the question-and-answer section at the end. Someone in the audience asked Gavin to give his…

R-e/p: Dick, how did you choose an engineer for the Dylan album? Dick LaPalm: I left the decision up to Rob. I asked him who should do it. At the time we had 3 guys. Rob came back after a couple of days and said, “I should do it.” I said, “Fine.” R-e/p: Rob, why did you decide to do it? Rob Fraboni: Mainly because I was really familiar with Bob’s music, as well as The Band’s. I’ve been listening…

This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. Recently I moved my home studio from one room to another. From a nearly 200-square-foot living room to a 100-square-foot bedroom. It’s been a long time since I’ve thought about room acoustics and because this is a common situation for home studios, I thought I’d share my experience. This article will help you understand and overcome the challenges of a dedicated studio in a small room. It will be most helpful…

I was recently out doing a demo with the JBL VerTec rig that I often talk about. The room was a traditional shoe box sanctuary that was very reverberant. The walls were plaster, the ceiling also plaster and had a slight smooth arch to it. The balcony wall was glass that stretched from side to side with a flat plaster wall above the glass. One nice thing was that the reverb was relatively full frequency and smooth. In fact, congregational…

Feed The Brain. The primary job of a measurement rig is to acquire electrical and acoustical signals and feed them to the processor so that it can analyze, compare, slice, dice, fold, spindle and mutilate those signals and produce multi-colored charts, graphs and the all-important squiggly lines. “But my software can produce squiggly lines all by itself without all those bothersome wires, preamps and microphones. Isn’t that enough?” Maybe. It depends on whether you are getting paid to pose or…

The reverberation time (RT) is one of the most fundamental room measurements. It gives a broad brush stroke description of the general acoustical behavior of a space, paving the way for the use of other metrics to determine clarity and direct-to-reverberant ratios. Wallace Clement Sabine was the first to formalize the RT into an acoustic metric. His method of measurement involved a program source, a stopwatch and a quiet room. Sabine determined that 60 dB of room decay was audible…

R-e/p: Tell us about redoing the control room for Village. GEORGE AUGSPURGER: From my standpoint, even before getting into the subtleties of those things that the client may like, there are a number of things you do in any control room. One is that you try to get the thing as nearly as possible to be bilaterally symmetrical. You’re stuck with two channel and four channel stereo, which are both oriented left and right, and to get any kind of…
