I thought I was losing my mind watching For All Mankind last week. So many shows use space as a backdrop for gorgeous scoring and clean ADR lines, highlighting the empty vastness of noiseless void as a perfect contrast. So why does it sound like everyone’s voice is being recorded on my USB Dell...

I just came here to complain to people who understand. Had a plan for dual subs forever and it just seems to be getting further and further away. Here's a screenshot of the current price. I just want the supply chain madness to end so I can annoy my neighbors even more. The squeeze is so real...

Hey all, I got covid this last week. Not a lot to do but 3D model. I have been seriously considering the baffle and bracing of my existing nearfield monitors. My goals this year are to learn CNC, and I hope for this to be my first finished project. Luckily, most pieces are also small enough to...

I wanted to share a recent exchange I had with the customer service department at Platin Gate, the manufacturer of Buchardt's plate amplifiers. I wanted to know what it would take to complete a project using their services, prices, and software availability. My hope was that I could install...

I started getting into DIY audio as a way to save money, pass time, learn more, and increase my daily quality of life at home during the pandemic. This was rewarding and enriching, I can't imagine I'm the only one who started for similar reasons. Who else caught the DIY bug after being stuck...

Hey all, longtime reader and first time poster. The objective nature of this forum is refreshing, to say the least. It's also turned me on to the idea of EQ'ing my nearfield monitors and headphones. For now, I haven't attempted to measure or correct room gain or reflections at all. Using...
