Favorite part of the entire video: 1:26:56 🤣🤣 Thank you Jesco for sharing all your knowledge - I definitely learned a lot from this, even being a guest! Hope others find the conversation helpful. Cheers!
As a subpac user for several years now (was put on it by mixer David Glenn of The Mix Academy), I can confirm that it really works incredibly well for mixing and mastering on headphones!
I absolutely agree. This note is to other people interested in a Subpac. With it, you can feel exactly how hard or soft the low end is hitting, and help check for phase issues. An analyzer will show you much you have but not how hard/soft it is. Your kick might look great on screen, but it could still be flabby or hit like a paper bag -- which can be revealed through a subwoofer in a proper environment, or directly through a Subpac. What you won't get with a Subpac is the delay of the sub-bass as it travels from a subwoofer or problems with nulls or phasing in a room. Using a Subpac, you can be right at the source and be able to judge the strength of your low end and check against references, and that will get you at or close to the desired result. Note that someone in the past told me, when using a Subpac in Bluetooth mode, noted there was a 3ms delay of the subbass-- I can't confirm/deny because mine is directly connected to my headphones/speakers. Yes, I use it with my speakers most of the time. I don't use my subwoofers anymore unless clients want to listen with them.
@@imdrecordings I heard that feature was coming soon too! Although I use Audio Hijack as a work around (Sound ID on both headphones and the subpac path as I use a separate output for my subpac, but have the correction bypassed on the subpac path - this keeps the bass in time w the rest of the audio without the added latency of running through Sound ID).
Hi Jesco, I want to thank you for your great work. It has been very useful to me, your videos and also your free guide for bass traps. It is a pity that a content of such high quality has so low number of visits. I suggest you to reconsider the target of you videoblog. I can be really helpful to any amateur user or professional user looking for an own made acoustic conditioning. I guess there are not so many guys with a home music studio, but there are many people who can use your material: bars who perform concerts, bands playing rooms, home cinemas, audiophile rooms… I have one philosophical doubt abut rev time. Why when an orchestra or a band plays music, long rev times are ok, but when you listen to the same music through stereo speakers you need much shorter rev times? Example room of 20x20m and a camera orchestra a reasonable rev time 1,2sec. but we listen in a room of 5x5m with much lower rev. It should not be possible (from a theoretical point of view) to add extremely good diffusers to your room to have a long rev time (and also a very good conditioning for ensuring good frequency response, good control of the room modes, and a good control of the reflexions)? I wish you the best for 2022.
I have a 14 x 13 x 8 foot room and have monitor with 8inch woofer. I checked with the manufacturer to see if thats too big for my room and they said yes, but the online store I bought from says no that size is okay. Who do I trust?
I have a thick solid concrete neighbour wall and a thinner 10cm inner wall. Which wall in theory should I put my studio monitors against? It's only 2 meters between the walls though and acoustically I cannot hear the difference easily. But in theory, what should it be?
On the phones stuff... I can say that after finally nailing my sweet spot + a little bit of room eq. I can say with confidence that headphones lie. Bass and sub isn't heard its felt. I have audio technica mx40. I now can't mix the crucial groove on the phones. It just does not feel right. I do the groove on the speakers, and then fine tune on the headphones, like the really deep stuff or smth...
I think sonarworks is great but only for showing what's happening with eq in room and sperakers. When i turn on the "flat" correction its sound like unnatural. Does anyone have similar expirience?
Can somebody answer me if wrapping the rockwool in thin plastic foil in acoustic panels will harm low end absorption signoficantly? I want to do this for extra health safety 👍

Can't wait for the Sonarworks integration across the product line! Hope they do it

Hey, what is the mentioned windows alternative to sonarworks headphones?

Have you test the Psi Audio Avaa C20 active bass trap?. Best/Mathias

It doesnt affect it at all.
