"Bad Sounding" Rooms Make "Band
Sounding" Mixes
As discussed the last two tips,
standing waves in rooms account
for much of the "poor" sound in rooms. A bad
sounding room makes what you hear in the room sound bad.
Getting your room to sound good (or at least not "bad") is a
key to being able to monitor the sound of the mix and
therefore get good results.
In the
last
tip, I gave several ways the room could be modified to
have a better and more even sound. They were good
suggestions, but expensive and extensive.
With the tight budgets of project studio owners, a cheaper set
of "fixes" are needed. These fixes will improve the
sound but not be as doing it the extensive way. Since
they actually can get done, it well could be the way to go. |
