I honestly don't understand all the hype. I'm not impressed whatsoever. The rooms are not architecturally stimulating and the materials used are wrong. I'm not sure why an architect or interior designer wasn't consulted. And more importantly why wasn't an engineer who actually specializes in acoustics for studios consulted? Why address the room's poor acoustics at the end while the acoustics should have been part of the design?
Jay's rooms almost done - getting nervous
I have complete faith these rooms are going to be game changing. I can't wait to see the reference equipment. I don't understand new floors, they are so pretty all lacqered up and everything, and really cool surface designs. if you haven't seen you should take a look. Hope no one slips and falls and don't you need a rug.
But that's not why I'm nervous, I haven't gotten my invitation to the barbecue. I have amazing things planned that I can bring. I know Jay's got a lot of things on his mind and he hasn't forgotten about me.

@jays_audio_lab so the reverberation doesn't bother you and just because Jay is a YouTube sensation which respectfully he is having earned the title. But this doesn't mean that just because someone spends $100,000 in interior finishes it doesn't mean his space is better than the other guy having spent less of acoustics were not addressed during the build and design process. There are actial engineers who specialize in this. So are you undermining the role of an actual engineer? Sounds like you know better so enlighten us, why is Jay's room an acoustic anomaly? |
I am not there in the Jay’s room... Nobody is... What i know for sure is most people had their system in their living room with a few panels... This does not means their sound experience will be bad; this means their sound experience will be under the peak potential working of their system/room... Most people ignore that small room acoustic is at least as complex problem to solve than great hall acoustic if not more complex... They ignore that DSP and mechanical control of the room as well as psycho-acoustics measures are necessary if they want a maximal TOP soundfield experience ... They think the gear pieces makes the sound . It is false. Gear pieces only contribute. The system/room/ears-brain is the sound experience... Then it is possible that Jay enjoy a better sound than most living room and correct incrementally with time the defects of his room, as any room or living room ask for optimization...( He is tied by aesthetic concern for a business though, it was not my case. if it was i could not had done it at peanuts price but with a consuming time span) We can ask an acoustic engineer, a reputed one, but it cost way more money... How do i know all that ? I did it myself . It was not perfect for sure, it takes me 2 years non stop 7 days/7 after retirement, and doing it i had seen first seat as astounding is acoustics power... it dwarf in effects magnitude any gear piece upgrade on any level....( it does not means that a 100 bucks amplifier beat a 10,000 bucks one read me with your thinking process ) Add to this psycho-acoustics measures which are essential for small room dedicated owner acoustics ( i did not use them because i tuned my 100 resonators distributed grids with my ears for my ears)... Why do you think stereo listening is deficient? and how to remedy it ? Small room acoustics is already complex, add to this psycho-acoustics... Read about this in Dr. Choueiri articles... By the way i wish the best to Jay, he had worked his ass very hard... It will be his room... So .... He is in high end business, i am in low end personal experience... Envy or jealousy is a character deficiency... Acoustics basics matter, not the gear budget choice ...Except for ignorant....
