Hi all.
I came across a comment made by Amirm on the REW for Dummies thread, roughly, "beware of [X] audio forum, because threads get cornered by 1970's acoustic ideology rather than contemporary science."
Is it possible to find out more about what this means? I'm asking because I don't want to get sucked into it.
Is it to do with minimal room treatment, trying to keep the sound of the room, not using too much in the way of panels and absorbers?
What are people's rule of thumb for seeking advice without falling prey to charlatans / ideology / trends / misinformation etc?
I've never done any acoustic treatment before, and we are preparing to spend a lot of money. I want to make sure we follow the right path. It seems like there are some fads around, and also some outdated ideas.
I'm willing to learn a lot about acoustics, but also want to be able to trust experts and get opinions.
Had our first acousticians over last week, they took a quick look at the room, 10' x 11', and said, 'it'll be hard to get sounds in here below 70Hz.' I've had a lot of dissenting second opinions since then. But you see the risks - could have given them £10,000 and not had any low end.
