Thats great you chose lyle lovett and his large band.. Nice album for showing off great Dynamics and detail of recording quality through a true 2 channel stereo system
TTT TripleT Indeed, The Lyle choice made me nod my head knowingly. The Road to Ensenada has tracks I use for reference, if I’m mixing a expansive, cinematic and dynamic piece.
I've often wondered if it would be worth the manufacturing efforts to develop multi-pane windows where the space between the panes was as close to vacuum as you could get.
No, for a lot of different reasons. There are windows manufactured of two different thicknesses of glass laminated together. That does reduce sound transmission at a reasonable cost, but nothing is perfect.
Irony of the High End, in a place with the worlds best sound systems and the one you get to use and the room is terrible. Makes for some fun irony though I suppose :)
Geeesh what did you expect an 11.1 Dolby Atmos mix? Its a freaking Power Point presentation! Get over yourselves please. If you cant hear what he is saying you are probably deaf and should take up a different hobby.
Fantastic primer for acoustic treatment! I have studied this field for sometime I know much more than the average consumer. I still found this video to be very entertaining! I am a retired electrical engineer. That probably explains my interest!
Thanks Jim, it is intended a gentle introduction to get the principles. In more recent lectures (and where w have more time) we also encourage room testing now as well and explain a little more about that
I have a large window (6' x 6') behind my listening chair. My speakers are set up in front of a solid wall opposite the window. Obviously I can't put room treatments where the window is located behind my chair. So, should I flip the orientation of my room and have the speakers by the window and my listening chair by the solid wall?
Cla55clown Portable, hanging diffusion over the window is my first thought. Flipping the room orientation would create a somewhat different issue with your glass. Absorption, even in the form of acoustic drapes would help your situation as well.
Why you no acoustic treatment affects how neighbors hear you? As I understand it, acoustic treatment reduces db levels of certain frequencies, and that is perceived volume, so I'd assume that it should work?
Str8representing beats It doesn’t work that way. Absorption/ diffusion of sound is very different from stopping sound transmission. Especially lower frequency’s. Even big corner “bass traps” don’t absorb it all.
