And sometimes in the absence of empirical tools they can provide at least a semblance of what conditions one might be subsequently confronted. :-SĬonstructing abstract processes for real phenomena, which by virtue of the ideal and simplistic assumptions are simply guesstimates, can be fun. The program took two days to run to completion. On the other hand there was the defense department's weather prediction algorithm at Lawrence Berkeley 10 years ago (when we were dealing with it and others) on their massively parallel SP complex that could, upon input of all of the myriad variables, quite accurately predict the next days weather. After listening to several hours of debate between the engineers regarding what the depth might be, Custer rode his horse out to the middle of the river and turn ed to the astonished officers of the staff and shouted, "That's how deep it is, Mr. McClellans's army, Custer discovered the army stalled at a river because the engineer's weren't able to determine the depth of the river with the technology they had at hand. One is reminded of the account described by Shelby Foote in the Ken Burns' Civil War special where upon reporting to Gen. One wonders what the benefit is, aside from keeping math and physics grad students off the streets and insuring that they will never have a social life, in using such an imprecise at best, and utterly erroneous at worst, exercise when one can simply measure and know the precise behavior in a very short period of time with minimal effort. As any potential agreement is not almost arbitrary but only verified by empirical testing or measurement anyway. Traditional room mode calculators already function at a low level given their ideal assumptions, and function very poorly in simple irregularly shaped rooms, if at all in 'seriously' irregular shaped rooms.Īnd if the room is already built, they are akin to playing with a Ouija board. I would simply ask the retailers to read a bit more carefully before posting the links, as this is not the first time I've found the response to be unrelated or barely vaguely to the question asked. Without guys like Ethan around here, I'd love to get a chuckle out of SAC's response to the same question everyday. Perhaps the OP is requesting modal calculations in hopes of adding to a boundary to qualm an overlap in modal support, but looking for a estimation of gain or performance handling before undertaking the task.Įthan's "plain English" style is more than even some people are looking for or can handle. There are a multitude of options available to a owner of a live room that has a "color" opportunity, as opposed to a "control" environment. and we have no insight as to the typical recording protocol. This performance space is approaching 500 sq. Furthermore, assuming "all rooms this size" require the same thing is kinda silly. "mid-high absorbers at reflection points" is irrelevant and confusing given the question. Based on his question and the photo provided, one should deduce we are talking about his live room. The OP is asking about rooms of irregular shape. The heavy posters who supply a ton of people with a ton of info are often missing the point of the ? in order to post their FAQ's link. The Acoustic Treatment ExpertsThis happens an awful lot around here. This short article explains the basics in plain English: But even measuring is not strictly needed, since the treatment strategy is always the same in rooms this size: As many corner bass traps as possible, plus mid-high frequency absorption at reflection points and near performers and microphones.
