It’s the digital age, the internet is flooded with new audio plugins that offer everything from emulation of analogue gear to digital effects and synthesis methods. But since premium products from companies like Waves and Native Instruments are quick to rack up the...
Reverb control and positioning can be challenging. Reverb is an essential effect, but too much can ruin your mix. As with everything around us, the key is proper balance. In this tutorial, we will learn how to use reverb properly. As usual, we already have a simple...
What are resonant absorbers? The resonant absorbers are frequency-dependent because of the desired resonance of the material at a particular wavelength. Different types of resonant absorbers are the Salisbury screen, the Jaumann absorber, the Dallenbach layer,...
What are Membrane Absorbers? Membrane absorbers, also known as panel and diaphragmatic absorbers, utilize the resonant properties of a membrane to absorb sound over a narrow frequency range. Engineers typically employ unperforated, limp panels of wood, pressed...
Acoustic foam Next, to fibreglass, acoustic foam is one of the most widely used materials for soundproofing. It is a cost-effective absorber, and a meter-square area of such treatment covering each of the reflection points can make a big difference to the...
