So what am I trying to do with this?

I’ve spent over 25 years in post production sound engineering, and over that time I’ve found that acoustics is considered to be like a black art that is understood only by those who have sold their afterlife to some evil deity in return for “the secret knowledge”. As a result, a great many people working in things that acoustics touches upon have misconceptions about it, relying on what they heard from someone else, who heard it from “someone who should know”, who heard it from, well, you get the point.

What I want to accomplish with this blog is to replace hearsay and myth with good, reliable information that will help you understand acoustics and put that knowledge to use in your particular situation. From a home theater or listening room, to sound editing rooms and full-on film and TV mix stages, to music recording, to screening theaters and beyond, I want to show you how to make your sonic experience better.

I want to give you the knowledge to take acoustics from scary black magic to the understandable mix of science and art that it is.
