Extremely informative. I've learned as a musician how important room acoustics are for recording but it's insane to think about how much this science is actually applied by life on earth without the vast majority of life even considering why or how it's possible. Normally lifeforms process these noises without even thinking twice about them, but they even help us navigate the world around us. Blind humans that have learned the art of echolocation are a perfect example of this. I would never want to lose my eyesight or sense of touch, but losing my hearing would be even more devastating to me.

As an artist with a home studio - This is an excellent example of room acoustics - I see why it’s so important and I appreciated the demonstration with the wooden clappers at the end - made all the difference in my understanding! ☺️

Wow! never seen a more simple explanation. Excellent video sir! I learned something today...Thumbs up

I have tried to understand it several times, but just with your video, I've finally got it. Thank you a lot))

That is not echos sound, but reflection of sound refers to the bouncing of sound waves off a surface. This can occur when sound waves encounter a solid object, such as a wall or floor. Echo is the repetition of sound that occurs after the original sound is produced. It happens when sound waves reflect off a surface and return to the listener.

This is what I figured after playing instruments for so long. Simply having a fan set to low messes with sound frequencies too. It's interesting how it causes them to sound. Thanks for the video!

I'd say it most definitely depends on the size of the recording area. I know people in bands that have told me to place carpet on the walls of my studio, but in my case that just wouldn't work. It's such a small room, that if I were to do that it would kill the sound almost completely, when all I really want to do is control it.

@@computerjantje Well, there's only so much you can do post production if the recording itself is already either too flat, thin, boxy, distorted, etc. It's almost similar to video. You can't enhance resolution that isn't there. I'm speaking generally of the vocal recording area and not the setting of levels. I think it goes without saying that no amount of EQ'ing is going to fix a badly recorded vocal.

+Isaac Acosta Another lesson for you... :) This is not sound proofing, it is acoustic treatment. The difference? Sound Proofing is the option to stop sound traveling through walls etc, so that you either block sounds that are outside the room from entering or you block sounds from leaving the room so others can't hear your music. Acoustic Treatment is the option to stop echo's/ reflections of sounds bouncing off the walls as you see in this video. This will not stop sound from entering or leaving the room... that is sound proofing's job. Hope this helped, like it so people who don't fully understand can read for themselves!

The best way to understand how sound moves is to tap a bucket of water. You get a splash where you tapped the bucket, then later at the other side and back. Thus, if you put your speakers 18" from the wall your head should be 18" from the rear wall for optimum bass - try it!

This is very simplistic take on the issue and doesn't really tell you how complicated it really is to make acoustic treatment. It takes time, knowledge and experimentation (and accurate measurement, not your subjective opinion) to do good acoustics. And it's way too easy to spend a huge amount of money on treatment that isn't effective or is wrong for the said room.

It's also very easy with a little money and ingenuity to make a big difference in a bad room. This video is good for a 3 minute intro to acoustics. Just putting up a few strategically placed absorbers can make a big improvement, but it takes a lot of expertise to make a 'reference' quality space. It depends on what your goal is.
