I was wondering if anybody had any idea of the amount of latency one could expect if they tried to use wireless to play guitar in one room (where the computer et al is) and another wireless on the mic's amp/cabinet? I've tried using Bluetooth but the latency was ginormous. Well, huge by my...

Discuss. What sound treatment do you get from your tree. Fir vs Pine? Spruce? Hemlock? Show your work and post sound samples if you got them :D

I feel like trying to build a room in it. After demolishing the disaster area that was the finished area where I wish to set up, I have no desire to build another room to have the same problem happen again. I know concrete is a harsh sound reflector. Can free standing gobos help? I'm...

The demolition of the old finished basement is done all but the cleaning remains. It's going to be at least a year, likely more, before I can build anything. I'm not expecting to do any tracking or mixing down there for now, I just want to be able to play live in the room. The area is going...

Out with the old. The dumpster (don't know what they call them overseas, bins?) arrives tomorrow. I've moved everything to one side of the basement and today I start putting up the dust barrier plastic sheeting. This is a long haul project. I aim to do the demolition over the next 2-3 weeks...

Again, this is my first basement room to set up in on a permanent basis. Bisecting the room is the center support beam of the house, 6"(15cm) wide by 8"(20cm) high, with a lally column about 1/3 from wall. Room is 12'(3.66m) wide by about 22'(6.71m) long. There are HVAC ducts to one side of...

this may be a silly question, but is there any sonic difference between bare wood, like rough sawn pine that's unfinished versus the same wood with a poly finish on it? I'm trying to decide if I want to take the effort to finish the walls of my future music room / recording space.

When we get an electrician in here, I've been giving thoughts to trying to isolate the music room's electrical circuit from the rest of the house. We are going to have to essentially orphan and rewire the whole house anyway. However, the mains panel will be in the area of the music room. The...

we've been in the new house now for just over 2 weeks. I've been doing ~90+% of the moving single-handedly, my brother is super swamped with work (which enables us to buy and pay for the house.) I'm getting too old for this stuff. Both knees, both wrists and my back are knackered. I managed...

one room in the basement of the house has a drop ceiling (don't know what they call it over the pond) that has those fibrous tiles. I plan to take the ceiling down and wonder if it is worth retaining the tiles in case they might be useful in building gobos or wall treatment. Even if they're...

I'll have a bedroom that I can use as a dedicated music room. After I get done with the demolition of the basement's existing appointments, I'll be left with concrete walls with 2x4 stud framing 16" on center. Would the studs help for diffusion if I set up down in the basement? I'm not going...

I had a few longer than my usual 2:30 mixes that I put on my USB stick. These were the tracks that I had trouble with trying to add reverb to that I spoke of elsewhere. I resolved that issue but now a different arises. On playback in my car's stereo, on the USB stick one track abruptly ends...

I'm not sure if I have the right forum for this question but here goes anyway. As I was doing an audit on my saved files, I came across some videos I made in Quicktime using my iphone as a video camera. Naturally I didn't include any notes on how I accomplished this. These videos are from 3...

when you record in a DAW, do you set your input gain via your interface and leave your channel strip slider at 0?

I had been told on a couple of occasions that the 8" monitors (20.3cm) I had were probably too big for the rooms I used to have available. I was curious if there is a consensus on what size speaker fits what size room. I know that the reflection points matter. I'm in a typical apartment size...

Years ago, when I was taking studio production courses at Hesser College in Manchester NH, I wrote a paper on Earthworks Audio. I interviewed with Mr Blackmer, who was gracious enough to take me on a tour of the facilities. On the tour, we looked at the anechoic chamber where they test the...

I'm on my second Audio Interface after taking a step up from a very entry level unit. Sadly the 'better' unit has developed a problem, and it is also now OOP. My seller will honor a return. The replacement model has USB-C, which I don't currently have on either of my computers. yes...

The last week or so before I moved, I had been noticing more and more weirdness when I tried to use my Presonus 1810 with my Mac Mini late 2012 2.5 GHz i5 with 16 GB RAM running Safari 13.0.1 with Logic Pro X 10.4.8 I first noticed the odd sound when using the tuner in Logic Pro. The G string...

I can't help but wonder. What would my bedroom have sounded like completely empty? No furniture or anything. The room has wall to wall carpet. Growing up it was hardwood with a few scatter rugs and that's what I played in until '79. 9 or 10 years later, new carpet. That was my 'music room'...

we're due to begin our residency at a new place to call home, the applications were filled out yesterday. I know it won't be optimal but my music room is also going to be my bedroom/office. At least it won't be as small as some of the mini-spaces we've looked at. I'll be packing my music room...
