Once you’ve dealt with them for a while, working with values in decibels (dB) becomes second nature, and warrants little further thought. Sometimes though, the process of getting to that stage can pose a few hurdles, some of which I was exposed to recently via an undergraduate course I had to re-take as part of […]
You are hopefully well aware of room modes and resonances. As the bane of home recording spaces, they have the ability to wreak havoc on small, untreated rooms. Physically, they are the result of standing waves, sound reflecting between surfaces in such a way that they reinforce themselves. They are based on the geometry of […]
FOREWORD While this is a derivation involving somewhat involved maths and physical concepts, I have purposefully made it quite “verbose” and explanatory in nature. Hopefully (if you are at least at the undergraduate physics level), there should not be too many stumbling points and should make logical progression without large leaps of faith. As such, […]
