I know Foley is selling a product, and his views are not shared by all. Having said that, I've always enjoyed his short presentations and feel there are lots of good take aways in his presentations. Would I build an entire room based on quadratic diffusers? Probably not, but I could see them as part of the final treatment. As for the mood/emotional component to how our systems sound, I am in total agreement there. Spark up a fatty and tell me you don't connect on a different level. IMHO |
@mahgister share some of those papers you think are worth while 👍 |
