In this presentation we look at what acoustics to aim for, both for editing, recording and venue. We look at absorbents, which can be both ordinary building materials and more specialized products. We look at sound distribution, something that is often overlooked. And then look at diffusers that you build yourself. Finally, a hint to perform your own control measurements.
