Really nice "hands on" stuff here. A lot of venues could up their game by following these advices. As a foh engineer I would prefer an acoustically well treated room with a medium/low end PA over a boomy room with high end PA anytime. Thanks for sharing 👍
Another great video. Good advice. Lots of bang for the bucks. Hiring an artist is a great idea. One major problem. Never use non-fireproof acoustic material. Your using the shipping foam on the ceiling is a no-no. Common foam catches on fire quickly and emits toxic smoke. Remember The Station fire where 100 people died because of the flammable foam acoustic treatment.
Yes...actually, there was a percentage allowed for non-fireproof treatment allowed in Toronto at the time. The theatre drapes were fine, but you are correct....The Station has become a great case study (unfortunately 100 people died) and we should always use fireproof treatment. That being said, The Station also did not have sprinklers because of the 'grandfather clause' , but since they renovated, that clause was null and void. And, the camera person was blocking a doorway to an already over-crowded room. In any case...going forward, your words will be highlighted any time I talk about acoustic treatment...cheers!

Great video as always! I work as the FOH for one band here in Slovenia. But in the summer we are always outside. The problem is winter restaurants. Glass all over and tiles on wals=nightmare(even with proper speaker placement)

I like the idea of having a dead stage. in terms of reflections. I can see how that would make mixing every loud bands, an easier process. Though it makes me wonder how well it would handle bands with a half stack/fullstack that are diming it. Have any experience with such a situation on a stage setup like this?
Yes, it still works...it makes it better, although bands who crank it up will still have a loud stage sound to mix around, but the FOH is still pretty clean.

Meu pai e minha mãe tem a taberna leuven, eu gostei muito do vídeo acho que meu namorado vai fazer o tratamento acústico. mt legal mesmo, muito bom o vídeo
my mother and father have the leuven's taberna, i liked the video very much i think my boyfriend gonna do the acoustic treatment. very nice indeed. the video is very good
Well, what is needed is dependent on how dry sounding the room will be. The reverb equation to estimate reverb time (the time it takes for a loud sound to drop from 120dB to 60dB) would be one of 2 I know, the Sabine equation: RT60 = .049xV/Sxa, where V=Volume, S=total surface area and a= average absorption coefficient (% of absorption of each material, added up and averaged). Norris-Eyring is another equation, but in any case, you would choose a desired reverb time first, then adjust absorption coefficients until you estimate that reverb time. So, get total surface area (Sq feet), Volume (Cubic feet) and all the absorption %'s from each material in the room and plug into the RT60 equation. For a studio, maybe a 1/2 second reverb time is needed, and for a club, maybe one second. I did a gig in a church one time with an estimated 4.5 seconds of reverb time, mixing a Latin percussion band....and whooo!! Holy reverb! It didn't sound good. Anything more than 1.5 to 2 seconds will sound unclear. However, if the first third of the room is treated, then there will be a time gap between the direct sound and the reverb, which I didn't cover in the this video. Maybe I'll do another video on this. Cheers!
