In this post, we're diving into the latest "Knowledge Bomb" session, where I answer your top questions on fixing bass, finding reflection points, decoupling subs, and more. If you're looking to make your studio sound better without getting lost in technical jargon, you've come to the right...

When it comes to home studio acoustics, there’s a lot of noise out there. Foam panels, bass traps, fancy gear—you’ve probably heard it all, right? And if you’re like most people, you’ve tried a bit of everything, only to find that your mixes still sound off.

...

Are you dealing with weird bass problems in your oddly shaped room? Maybe your home studio has angled walls, a sloped ceiling, or some other unusual layout that makes you feel like getting a good low-end is impossible. I get it—odd rooms can seem like a nightmare when you're trying to dial...

Today, I want to clear up a common question I used to ask myself all the time: Can you combine soundproofing with bass traps?

I used to see pictures of studios where people seemed to be doing just that. They’d have some kind of open wall construction with the insulation material visible,...

Let’s be real—building your own bass traps sounds easy… until you start digging into insulation materials.

High-density? Low-density? 6,000 Pascals?

Before you know it, you’re knee-deep in forum posts with your brain ready to explode.

It often feels like everyone’s...

So, you walk into your studio, clap your hands, and hear that zing flutter between the walls.

And now you’re convinced your mix can’t possibly translate properly, right?

Come on, it’s just flutter echo.

Today, I’ve got a very special guest with me - Carl Tatz. 

If you’ve been in the studio design world for any length of time, you’ve probably heard of Carl and his revolutionary Phantom Focus System. 

Carl’s been at the forefront of studio design for decades,...

Ever feel like even after putting your bass traps in place the low end still feels a bit...off?

Maybe even that, no matter what you do, those standing waves just won’t behave?

Maybe you’ve stacked your traps floor to ceiling hoping that, “That should do it,” only to...

Ever felt like you’re chasing ghosts in your studio?

You know, when something sounds just a bit off, but you can't put your finger on why?

It’s frustrating, right?

I remember setting up my first studio in my spare bedroom. I was excited, had all my gear ready, but the sound just...

Do you know exactly how much you’ve invested in your acoustics?

Whether you're just starting out or looking to upgrade, knowing what your budget gets you in terms of sound quality is crucial so you don’t end up disappointed.

And should you DIY, go off-the-shelf, or hire a pro? 

A few years back, I was working with this producer who set up a pretty decent home studio. 

Good gear, perfect listener and speaker placement, solid room treatment – the works. 

But his mixes? They still didn’t sound right outside the studio. 

We went through his setup...

Are you still confused about how to use LUFS correctly while mixing?

Be honest..
