I'm sitting in the listening position of my brand new home studio.

A renovation has been due for some time and it's been a few weeks of construction, but it's finally finished.

We ripped everything out and started from scratch.

Here's a before picture after we cleared out all the gear and ripped up the floors.

And here's what the room looks like now:

One thing I'm still missing is a nice rug because I'm sure it'll just really tie the room together...

But I'm also still planning on re-upholstering my acoustic panels in a lighter shade of grey to make it even brighter, but even with the old fabric it still looks good.

And best of all, it feels creative.

My old studio was kind of turning into a dusty old dungeon and I was craving brightness and light.

I know mood lighting is important, but if I'm going to spend all day in here it has to align with the way I work, and lots of natural light and brightness is how I am at my best.

I didn't come to the U.S. from Iceland just to sentence myself to 24 hours of darkness all over again...

This morning I finished calibrating my monitors with my Sonarworks Reference system so now everything i play sounds crystal clear and it's amazing just how well I can pinpoint each instrument in the mix.

It's like they're sitting there right in front of me, so close I could touch them.

And it made me think of how this whole experience could benefit you.

Room acoustics are a HUGELY IMPORTANT part of making better mixes, but unfortunately it's severely overlooked by amateur home studio musicians and producers.

It honestly doesn't matter if you had the greatest gear in the world, all the plug-ins under the sun and the most expensive monitors money can buy...without acoustic treatment you'll never consistently make great mixes because your mixes won't translate anywhere.

So I was thinking of creating a few videos or making a masterclass on room acoustics and I wanted to see if you were interested?

Don't worry...I'll be creating this content for free as a public service. 

Honestly it's a huge hassle to convince people that they need acoustics when all they want is a shiny new microphone...

It's like selling vitamins. People know they should take them, but they just don't.

But I believe it's my duty to help you out. You don't always get what you want, but in this case you'll get what you need.

So if you're interested in a series of videos on setting up your home studio and treating your room with proper acoustics, even if you're on a budget, let me know.

Here's what I want you to do next:

Looking forward to hearing from you,
