Frequency Response: What’s a good response in a treated room? (measurements) - AcousticsInsider.com

Have you ever wondered what a GOOD frequency response in a studio actually looks like?

Cause it's not like you see a lot of them floating around. Pro studios and acousticians definitely seem to like keeping 'em under wraps..

How much does it actually improve with treatment?

And what changes exactly?

Well, let me show you. I think you'll be surprised.

Your channel has singlehandedly brought clarity in my understanding of room acoustics, thank you!

[joelwolski]

Best and most helpful video on acoustics I've yet seen. I love the distinction you highlight between frequency response and time response.

[maxmus]

Man... You can't even imagine how you helped me... It's not just fixing my room acoustic.. It's more.
Thank you, bro!

[SoundFriendly]

A pitty that you didn't include pictures of the rooms too. Nevertheless, great advice.

[RoyThompsonAudio]

Such good information! I can't get enough of it, Jesco!

[PeterBatah]

Clear and precise as always. A real joy to watch and hear. No bells and whistles. Just the cold hard facts. The only thing that is missing in my room...is YOU

[SunsetWingman]

This channel is super under appreciated. Best explanations by far

This channel is a pure treasure if you are interested in improving your home studio acoustics. Many thanks! The message of this specific video helped me finally to understand where to set my goals and what to expect in my own acoustics project and comparing results of different improvement stages using REW.

Wow, this was very clarifying on a complex theme in an extremely accesible way. Very helpful! I built a home studio before in a room that I couldn’t really influence the dimension on, but now I am planning to build a second one from scratch and this channel will be very useful.

Some of the best acoustic explanations regarding room treatment I came across. Well done Jesco :-)

[robertroycegroome]

Awesome video! It helps me clearly understand what is a reasonable outcome with all the work that goes into treating the room. Taking before and after graphs and noticing only marginal changes can be extremely disappointing but I now see this is the norm in small rooms.

[JackofAllMinistries]

SOOO helpful! I'm looking at my graphs in a panic, and now I feel like I have a handle on it. Thanks so much!

[nicoquebec]

Wow, so clear, and very good explanations. It helped me to understand better what happen in my room and my graphs! thank so much

I think this was the first time I really understood the effect of absorbers. Your channel is amazing!

[danmcbmusic]

Echoes my own experience. I installed 15 larger absorbers, the frequency response didn't get that much better, but rt60 went from 1.7s to 0.7s in the low end, and 600 to 300ms from 100Hz up. Playback of music is infinitely clearer, in bass and mid, and stereo image is also clearer. Several people have remarked (spontaneously) how clear things sound. And I didn't even start fixing the obvious early reflections yet. Delighted with the result, it's such a pleasure to listen there, and far less fatiguing.

Thanks for this videos! Very interesting to see what normally looks like in a real world acoustic treated room! Cheers!

[m.i.stapes]

Thanks for sharing all the knowledge man! You're doing a great job.

[santiagovanegas]

Finally! Someone who really knows what they're talking about, and knows how to talk about it. This video is extremely helpful. Thanks!!!

[fumpt]

Clear and educational analysis. Thank you. I’d take reduced, even RT over even frequency response any day 🙂

[matthewblue]

Good sensible analysis and commentary, very helpful !
