Learn how sound interacts with a space. There are five different ways. How many do you know?
Not every room is the same. All them them have a different sound to them. This lecture explains how and why.
How is sound measured? When you know that, you have something to track when treating your space.
How loud is too loud? Find out and how to measure if your space has crossed that line.
The first low to no-budget thing you can do to treat your space is to position the furniture and objects you already have. Learn how to do that for the best results possible.
Studios and theaters need a strategy for how to place speakers for the best possible effects. Find that here.
What should you put on the walls? Where? How much? Get all the answers to those questions here.
Find out what to do for acoustic treatment on windows, doors, walls, and even ceilings!
Can you solve the problem in this conference room?
How would you advise someone who simply wants a good night's sleep?
How do you treat a small, irregularly-shaped room?
This is the largest room in the case studies. Remember, the numbers get bigger, but the principles stay the same size.
This is a little more complicated based on how much equipment we have. Just keep in mind the goals and purpose of the room and you should be fine.
You could probably be a consultant by the end of this case study if you simply had the measuring equipment. By now, you know more than 90% of people about acoustic treatment.
Discusses the Golden Mean, Resilient Channels, and how to make a room irregularly shaped to avoid standing waves
What is white noise? When do you need it? And how can it improve your life and any recordings you make? Find out here.
If you don't want to remodel or treat an entire room and would just like a small construct to put in your room that serves as a vocal booth, this might be for you.
What levels you need for effective recording with a microphone, and the 1 thing you MUST avoid.
The basics of what a noise gate is, what it does, and how to use it.
The basics of what EQ is, what it does, and how to use it.
The basics of what compression is, what it does, and how to use it. The idea of an effects chain and the order of your effects is also discussed.
Are you afraid the sound in your room is giving others a bad impression of the content you worked so hard to make?
Are noises outside driving you crazy when you just want a room that allows you to focus and rest?
Has the topic of acoustics ever confused you in the past?
Whether you're a content creator or a working professional, your life is affected by the sound in your room. It affects your ability to get a good night's rest, to be understood in conference calls, to impart knowledge to others, and give others the best listening experience for your content.
If you can get this right, it will solve many of your problems. You'll have peace at home. You'll get better grades, be more productive, and have better quality sleep.
You will have an unfair advantage in getting people to like, share, subscribe, and react to the podcasts, music, narrations, lessons, and other content you're putting out into the world.
You will not only be listened to - people will LIKE listening to you.
Maybe you've tried to get the best sound possible for a room, but didn't know what to do. You didn't know what to buy, how much, or where to put it. NRC ratings, STC scores, Hertz, Decibels... it is all very confusing.
You don't want to be an engineer.
You just want to have great sound wherever you need to work or sleep!
This course explains the science of acoustics in SIMPLE terms.
It has:
Presentations
Animations
SIX Case Studies with 3D video tours
Audio Examples
Cheat Sheets
... And quizzes to help you remember what you learned.
All across TWO AND A HALF HOURS of instructional videos.
You don't need a massive budget, or even a modest budget.
In fact, you can start some aspects of acoustic treatment for $0!
That's NOT a typo.
And once you've treated a room, even if it's not perfect, there are things you can do to improve the quality of your recordings in post production to give them a more professional level of quality. There's a whole section in the course dedicated to just that.
By the end of this course you will know
How sound interacts with the surfaces in a room.
What kind of treatments to recommend to solve problems with Echo, Reverb, Unwanted Background Noise, and Uneven Sound Distribution.
How much of each treatment is needed and where to place it.
How to test the reverberation time in your room easily.
You'll know the Station, Seal, Screen, and Subdue method for solving problems with your Walls, Windows, Doors, Ceilings and Floors cheaply and effectively
You'll understand Hertz, Decibels, STC, and NRC ratings.
You'll know how to record effectively with a microphone - what to aim for and what to avoid.
You'll have an effects chain with three different effects to improve your sound after it has been recorded, and knowledge of how to use all of them.
What you can do to have the best room possible for a recording studio from design to remodel.
You'll know enough about acoustics to consult others in acoustics, answering most peoples' questions and solving most peoples' problems. The only people who would know more than you are acoustic engineers or people who are doing this for a living already, and even then, you might still know more than some.
How much better will your content be when the listening experience is enjoyable for your audience?
How much time will you save being able to focus better and sleep better in a room where you have mastered the sound domain?
How much easier will it be to make remote working sustainable if coworkers, employers, and business partners can hear you loud and clear - right where you are?
