Module 7 - Home Studio Acoustics - A Complete Guide (Vids 26-29):

In order to get better mixes we need to have confidence in our own abilities and in the equipment we use but if we are using those skills or our equipment in an untreated room the chances are very high that we are making mistakes in our mixes. This can be solved in part by treating the studio space you are working in with acoustic absorbers/bass traps. So in this 4 part guide Jon will take you on a practical journey through the knowledge and skills you need to be able to make informed decisions and how to get the most out of your home studio.

The diference between a treated room and and untreated room is night and day and there are many things you can do that will have a positive effect on your mixing environment and don't require a huge budget, or the learning of complicated software that uses specialized equipment. Jon will show you step by step how to build highly effective and cheap acoustic absorbers/bass traps that will help give you more confidence and ultimately help you get better mixes.
