Dennis is a snake oil salesman. Go watch videos of professional studio tours and you’ll see nothing close to that. In fact, one I just saw yesterday they even joked about the fact that the acoustics company proposed a budget that was literally the same as the cost of the building. They laughed at them and then just did it themselves with some internet research and using their own ears.
Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required?
In a video from 1/29/2021 (yesterday) Dennis Foley, Acoustic Fields warns people about acoustic treatment budgets. He asserts in this video that treatment will likely require (summing up the transcript):
Low end treatment: $5-10k
Middle-high frequency: $1-1.5k
Diffusion: Walls $10-15k, Ceiling: $30, 40, 50k

Ostensibly, this is done in the spirit of educating people who think they can do treatment for less than this.
People here have warned about some of his advice. Is this more troubling information or is he on target?
For those here who have treated their rooms to their own satisfaction, what do you think of his numbers?
