Description
To Whom it May Concern: I have been a musical hobbyist for over 18 years playing guitar and bass for various projects. Over the last few years, I have taken my hobby to the next level. I had invested in a nice computer and a Pro-Tools home recording set up with aspirations of learning the "ins and outs" of music production. Well, after I started recording my own music with the new set up, thinking that I had the "goods" to put together a professional sounding demo, I kept running into problems with my mixes. Nothing I recorded sounded anything like the countless CD''s I have bought. Most of the music I had recorded sounded muddy or had so much bass in the mix that it would drown everything else out. So I did what most uneducated kids would do, go out and spend more money on "fancy" gear. So after a few thousand dollars of purchasing some fancy mic pre''s and some elaborate "plugin''s" for Pro-Tools, I thought I was ready to rock! Well, it turned out I wasn''t really rockin'' any harder than I was before all the "fancy" equipment. So, not willing to accept defeat, I did some more "research" into what makes a recording sound "professional" and came up with the answer of "Mastering".
Education - Ready Acoustics is dedicated to helping real people solve real acoustical issues in their rooms. We’re not interested in psychoanalytical discussions that confuse people. We want you to know what we are recommending and why, in simple and honest terms that help you decide what to buy, and why. Our goal is to help you understand some of the acoustical challenges your room/space is presenting and how you can solve them without breaking the bank. In many cases, we advise using less product overall than you might originally believe you need. Ready Acoustics updates it’s website regularly with educational materials and information. We also sponsor and offer our expertise to various DIY forums where the discussion of acoustics is scientifically based, and where the ever-present acoustical BS (found all over the web) is left at the door.
Absolute Value - No other acoustical absorption company is more dedicated to offering absolute value than Ready Acoustics. Ready Acoustics products are not the most expensive and are not the cheapest. Our DIY products allow people to build their own acoustical treatments with little effort, and yield devices that look and perform like those costing 5-10 times as much.
Riverbank Acoustical Laboratories [RAL] is the birthplace of architectural acoustics. RAL was founded in 1918 by Wallace Clement Sabine , the man for whom the unit of measure for acoustic absorption is named [the sabin] . RAL has been a center for research ever since - in divers fields of scientific inquiry from acoustics to cryptanalysis.
