Do you ever finish a tune, then CRINGE when you hear it somewhere else because it sounds too thin, muddy, or lacks clarity? That’s because your studio is almost certainly plagued by HIDDEN acoustic problems. In fact, it’s not uncommon for home-based, DIY studios to have peaks and nulls of up to 15 dB in the low end.

You can imagine how it’s virtually IMPOSSIBLE to mix your track in that situation. These issues trick you into wasting precious time chasing ghosts in your mixes, correcting frequency problems that aren’t really there. In this video, I cover 5 common studio setup mistakes and how to fix them. We use a typical bedroom and do scientific acoustic testing to show how bad the problems really are...and what could be sneaking under YOUR radar!

Fancy gear and expensive monitor speakers are very alluring, I know.
But far too many times when I look at producers’ studios, I see MAJOR setup mistakes that are preventing them from properly hearing what they’re doing. After getting inundated with a ton of questions about how to set up a studio the right way, and seeing SO MANY photos of studios that are set up plain wrong, I had to shoot this video to point out some essential fundamentals of studio setup.
