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.

I would be sanding that glue off the wall and painting the room something other than depressing grey.

He could t removed that glue 😂 he thought nobody was going to notice he had treatment but he wanted new ones 😆
he removed all wall panels before Francis came to his house. And Changing the paint is a good idea , it will look good. Trust me the ears matters the most.

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

It's 3:30 am, and I just painted wall 3 of 4 (minus the second coat) of my (now torn apart) office that I'm changing into a music studio. The walls were white, but now will be (insert any totally awesome color here to suit your imagination!), and it's WAY radical totally tubular far-out gnarly funky fresh brah!

Wow !! these videos are the best thing that exist on youtube about mounting home studios and sound treatment! because the way to explain it is very accessible to all! It is spectacular! Francis, I'm from Portugal and could even pay you to come here to rescue my own homestudio! Amazing! Thank you very very much !!!
Thanks Francis for the video! Barring the room aesthetics, there is some really useful information here. Wish I could get my room rescued. Good luck Steve!
Good stuff. Simple, straightforward tips - thanks!
These videos are just so great! I love you personality and sense of humor
this is a great idea, they should put this in TV also

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
"MUUUM! There is a Man In My Room Rearranging Everything !
I love what you guys are doing....only thing is ......i wish they had a team like you guys in South Africa.....keep it up!!! Awesomeness!!!!
Man I’m so glad I’ve stumbled over this video, 'cause...I’ve been thinking to setup my own studio...
I love way you are working
Wow you should see my shamble of a home studio.We would make the best episode ever! And i could so appreciate your upgrades and help and advice because i am stone broke!!!!
That was awesome!

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.

I have experience with that particular microphone and it is a true performer and also pretty sturdy and as far as Francis he is all about the sound...
Nice video, and also I loved the Brazilian flag, 👏👏✌️✌️
came in and moved a desk and put some panels in, and gave him a great mic, way to go!
This show is awesome. The guys at Rode know how to carve a niche. Kudos!
Put this in TV!! Plis!! And come to Mexico!!!
i love this
Make More Studio Rescue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!
such a great idea!!!! i was thinking about that, and it would be a great thing to do, and would be great for the show!
This whole series seems fake. The people their helping just seem like they are looking at a ghost the whole time. Plus these people all get free acoustic treatment and a brand new NT2A and when it's given to them, they all look like they don't know what to do with it or them selves. I would freak out so much if they were at my house, the camera crew wouldn't know what to do.

All this people were participating in some kind of contest ( by sending their mixes and songs) to get a new microphone and acoustics for free, I think that’s the reason they do not look surprise at all, they already know they won that! The company just saw the opportunity to sell even more product by making a “rescue show”. It wasn’t fake dude.
@TheAdiel2010 Francis is wearing the limited edition M1 t-shirt, which was offered exclusively to readers of TapeOp magazine in 2010. RØDE will soon be launching an online store to allow direct purchase of our shirts, and we do have a small handful of these left that will also be available.
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’ 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

Good Sound stuff! Thanks
im also picking up a lot of tips...thanks guys!!!
love it & it helped me out so much life saver they should call u!!!life studio saver LOL
So good sir I learn more
Great movie
What do you use to attach the acoustic treatment panels to the wall? I'm looking for something that won't tear the paint or make a mess on the wall if I ever needed to move the panels.
Very helpful thanks
How does speaker size does matter for room size? 5'' vs 8'' cone. My room size 12.2feet L x 7.66feet W x 7feet H what size should I get Focal cms50 or Event 20/20Bas or Dynaudio Bm5amk2 . Please reply.
I have the NT2A but I don't know what interface would support it to my mac
I wish this series was actually on TV...
Why was the ceiling not addressed? Cloud panels? Acoustic dampening under the speakers on the desk?
Nice Episode really helpful
very nice and simple
Nice mic you got! Got one myself, it's cool
Hello! This is a helpful video for HomeStudio design! One question: Can you please give me the address where I can buy these room foam panels? Thank you very much. Best regards
I wish it was this easy, however them bass traps aren't gonna do anything to frequencies below 100Hz. Also them first reflection panels should be 29cm away from the wall if you wanna stop frequencies from 300Hz up.
Only God knows how much I want this Mic..... I really lobe it...
I see Francis neve works on trihedral angles in the room where most bass pressure is, is there a reason?
very cool!
This is nice setup skill
I live in a studio, so there is no bedroom I can utilize. the space is pretty decent but my speaker placement is in the middle of the room with no backwall. the monitors are JBL LSR2328P. should I move them close to the wall to gain some of the lowend?
Where could I shop for the equipment in Laval Quebec for mixing tunes with in my budget?
How did he glue those panels i mean with what kind of glue ?
very good....
how much do you change to do a room ? and do u travel to EU ?
what does everyone think of that studiorta creation station? speakers not a little too high?
Nice video. Can you tell more about the bass trapp in the video? It looks quite original! Thanks. Leo
Francis I LOOOOOOVE that shirt bro :)
Francis Buckley seems a really nice and knowledgable guy...
Actually this is the 2nd coolest guy I encountered on this show.
How did you get him to come and come at home studio thank you
exactly, never fails
Does this show give some acoustic results before and after the acoustic improvement?
excelente programa, me sirve mucho pero existiria la posibilidad de traducirlo al español? gracias y sigan asi.
Does anyone know what type of desk that is...i would really like to buy one...thanks
isn't those big monitor speakers affect monitor specially keep it close like this ?
would the rode work with the Avid Duet or quartet?
name program for recording on computer ;) ?
why they not playing how it sound first and when he made different lay out how he improved and does he done it actually
Love this entire series! Wish Francis could rescue MY studio before I redo it. I could sure use his expertise! The new Rode mic is very cool. I own an NT-1. Where can I find the room treatment material that Francis is using, along with the Mic isolator?
I have a window to my room Studio how do I set it up
You cant polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter....
it is meant to wobble so that the mic doesn't catch any vibrations coming from the stand.
I have yet to see him put up some diffusers.
Where can I sign up to help save my studio??
Any chance on u guys coming to jakarta and rescue my studios ?that will be my wishfull wish this year :)
why were the speakers left next to the monitor then !
wow, nice, you gave him some foams and re-positioned his speakers and desk. wow..

Hi. Just installed AC in studio. Getting outdoor unit noise. And because no other place for ODU, decided to install it in the balcony(attached to the studio) fixed one bonded foam(2 inches thick) at the back of the door of the balcony, which helped good enough for ears. But microphones are still catching that ttrrr... Any ideas?
