Home Studio Acoustics:
Part One - Acoustic Foam

The easiest way to ruin a good recording is from unwanted noise leaking into your mix. The second easiest way to ruin a good recording is to do your final mixing in a room with unnatural acoustics. Acoustic foam should be used in almost every home studio. It ensures that your recording will not be influenced by the characteristics of the room.free games motorola v

Installing acoustic foam is simple and there are many types to choose from depending on your budget. Be sure to measure the room so you don't end up with too much or too little.

Master Handbook of Acoustics

This is an outstanding book for anyone interested in room acoustics. My motivation as an Audiophile for purchasing this book was to answer the basic question: "Should my next audio investment be in room acoustic treatments, and if so what are the considerations involved?" This book methodically breaks down every aspect of the behavior of sound, and how that behavior affects and is percieved by the listener. Reverberation, reflection, dispersion, diffraction, absorption, spectral analyses, modal analyses, room topology, etc., etc... It's all there. An absolute must have for any Audiophile. free games motorola v

Building a Recording Studio

As someone unfamiliar with construction techniques, this book was a god send to me. The writing is clear and straightforward, and it contains a series of easy to understand illustrations showing construction details. From my simplistic laymen's perspective, I can say that after reading this book, I was able to have intelligent and informed conversations with architects and contractors regarding my studio. I'm sure readers who know how to swing a hammer will feel prepared to do a lot more than just talk.free games motorola v
