He's just upset that he is Irish and I am English
Hello Jack, I too enjoyed the banter. In regards to the statement I'm an anarchist, I seem to remember an attempt by the English to succeed at Irish genocide.
Talk about anarchy. As far as I'm concerned, Englishman are arrogant bastards and the Monarchy is a fucking joke. They tried to rule the world but US kicked their ass. Then we had to defend that stinking country from Hitler. Too bad. The only thing left to eliminate is the Bank of England and thier left arm, the Federal Reserve. Then we will see what happens to England. Of course, thier arrogance is doing a pretty good job of it already.
America hasn't woke up to that one yet.
In regards to acousticians, heres one for you. They are the only ones who clap BEFORE a performance.
Ok, enough of that. I do want to say thankyou for sharing your enlightenment with the members here. Although, as a layman, I still believe snake oil salesman come in many costumes. Your view of containment and us as freshman was intriging to say the least, yet others I know of are scratching thier head from what they describe as your double talk. You offered no explaination what so ever in regards to current schools of thought vs what you proposed here. Only a retort that we are stuck in acoustics 101. I know the scope of these things is beyond a few simple posts, but surely, since other professionals and companys such as Owens Corning still speak in terms that do not comply with your view, you could enlighten us to why your interpretation of containment is superior to the general view that is blatant on these type of forums.
You also did not care to share with us your valuable insight into the design and construction of a small vocal booth, which is of PRIMARY interest to many who seek information here. I guess my challange was of no interest to you.
So, in view of these questions, I'm am left wondering what it is you really achieved here, although not knowing what others recieved in personal emails,
it is hard to say, but in light of the fact that this information was not shared with the members at large, who is to say. Yes, I understand each room is different but general speaking, it seems we are left with a very vague overview of current thinking and concepts. At least in the form that members can form thier own solutions based on what you describe as 20 years experience and a degree from MIT. At least Eric Desart and others gave clues to the scientific underpinnings of thier solution designs, as well as database use via the internet. Oh well, I guess as you put it, I'm a socialist maybe and prefer truth over doublespeak. I find it highly amusing though, that the so called "science" of acoustics is subject to change on the word of one professionals opinion. At least my copy of a MASTER HANDBOOK of Acoustics will not go to waste. I have many fires to prime in my stove this winter. Funny how trust in science can disentigrate in a matter of minutes. How many of those books must be on the book shelves of recording enthusiasts who still have dillusions of diffusers, still trust that science is steadfast, and have no idea that current studio design dogma is only a matter of who is employed building the "hot" design of the moment. If they only knew.
