Bobby Owsinski recorded a great talk about how to treat rooms, starting with the basics like where to put speakers etc, and doing it all on a budget: https://youtu.be/1d9WmjTJniI He made an interesting point that it's the walls and ceilings that are the most important when treating, and most studios don't actually do much to the floor at all because it's natural for us to experience reflections from the floor as most of the time when we're hearing things we're standing on a surface of some sort. -Stephen On 26 July 2018 at 00:10, Quincas Moreira <xxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx> wrote: > I keep it simple: carpeting.
