Over the past weeks Graham of Music City Acoustics and I have been showing you step-by-step how to treat a home studio.
And unsurprisingly, there were a TON of questions about the whole thing.
So we decided to do a follow-up Q&A session.
Amongst a whole lot of other things we went deep on the problem with room mode calculators, bass traps as speaker stands, and why we haven’t put out a guide on building resonance membrane traps.
