Studio Rescue - Episode 9

Francis Buckley. Grammy winning Audio Engineer. All round great guy. Project studio fairy godmother?
In Studio Rescue we join Francis as he visits a range of home studios and combines the fundamentals of acoustic science with a few hard-earned industry secrets to get the most out of the available space.
Join Francis in this episode as he visits the converted guest house of Steve Lesema. Despite having a fairly nice setup with a light acoustic treatment Steve is still unhappy with his mixes and calls on Francis' help.
Is your studio in need of rescue? Visit www.studiorescue.com and Francis might just be knocking on your door next!

    Frisson Not going to lie, my studio was this exact color before and it was so difficult for me to stay inspired. The room was so grey and dull that my brain was having trouble to get creative. It was just a very depressing atmosphere to be in, as silly as that might sound lol, so one day I got sick of it and painted it an actual color and immediately felt more creative and less like I was locked in a prison cell. 😂 Best decision of my studio life. Haha

    Well they've already know eachother through email conversations etc So it will never be as organic as you may want or expect it to be on screen. Anyhow what about majority KZread video's even gold diggers vids are logically all fake, the only time it's real is when something goes wrong etc someone gets hurt which hardly gets uploaded as it hurts the prank vid hussle I guess, we all know what majority public is like with random confrontation, unless you're doing pranks in a church setting things will always go wrong so for all who calls bs on these simple help videos, I call the highest bs on most videos on KZread you actually still think is organic.. These videos are as organic as you can ever get and what we can or must get from them is that some of us may move to another house with smaller space so it gives us help on what table and equipment we can fit when move etc what to pack away and what to keep out/maybe sell if not needed anymore

    That room is entirely too small. He's going to have all kinds of low frequency issues. It also looks like it's a square, which is the worst for acoustics. He needs a bigger room. As far as the treatment they are using, foam doesn't do anything for low frequency problems. So sticking foam in the corners is kind of silly.

    The panels behind the desk are useful in order to catch any excess sound leaving backwards from the speakers. They are also placed there in order to diminish extra sound that moves around in the room (just like the panels on the other walls). The panels in the corners are called bass traps and they are put there in order to diminish the energy of bass frequencies which tend to travel along walls and get caught up in corners. Hope this helps!

I would freak out so much if they were at my house, the camera crew wouldn't know what to do.

    I really enjoy your show, I’ve learned a lot and I actually saved my studio using your techniques. I cannot believe that you didn’t take a little extra time and help him, or even just have him, paint the room. It would’ve made a huge difference in the aesthetic, but hey that’s just me. What I mean is, to do it right now he has to undo all the great work that you did, instead of just painting it for an hour, going out for a pizza to let it dry, and coming back to finish the show. Just a thought maybe for future episodes. Thanks again, Steve PS, my father was a mathematician and would never let us say heighTH...It’s ‘height’ 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
