Good job he had a multiband compressor and a stereo imager in there or I'd have never taken him seriously.

For home music production you can master with no acoustic treatment as long as the speakers close to you around less than a meter and u use the right tools.

For pro studio that charge $100 per track acoustic treatment and high end equipment is required.

[mastertone]

Cool, a video that 75 percent of the forumites cannot understand. I speak and understand German, but this is an English speaking website so..

auf Englisch, bitte? Otherwise it loses its effectiveness as most people cannot be bothered to try and translate(Unless the joke is that he has not any treatment or)...ah, Mannheim. I lived there for 2 wonderful years(Actually Schönau--Coleman Barracks). I really miss Murphy's and also Stonehenge and of course the Imbiss near the Hauptbahnhof..(not the one directly in front of it but a little off to the side behind the sonnenstudio)

It's more like a quick "look over the shoulder". He says that it's an addition to the website to show from who and where the process of mastering is being done. Oh, not to forget the lowback equalizer (that's how I'm hearing it)

I just posted it, coz it made me smile a bit.
I don't know Mannheim very well...

Steffen: IS there a studio and this is the office? Kennst Du die?

(He speaks of "where the processing is being done" so I assumed it IS the studio)

His view sure beats mine!

[Teddy Ray]

Well, I spoke to him. Nice man.

He said his room is treated, but not with conventional means. (he did say he had a bass trap). He also said that the problem with treated rooms is that the music sounds great in THAT room, but sometimes, nowhere else.

He does guarantee his results for great sound. He lives in Käfertal...so he would have been my neighbor!! My barracks, COleman Barracks..right beside Käfertal!

Nice man, seriously.

Did you maybe think about challenging him on this falshood (*nowhere* else?).

[mastertone]

The samples on that page speaks for themselves.

[Teddy Ray]

What do you all think of the samples? He treats his room with strategically placed furniture, books, etc. Very knowledgeable guy.

I don't know enough about the genres on the site to have an opinion, really. He is a very nice, professional demeanor having gentleman.

I mean, it's quiet obvious:

He probably IS a really nice guy, no doubt! The room (and acoustics...err...his voice is so 3D in that video) aswell as the examples
(just heard them) do speak for themselves, as mastertone said.

The "Vocal Pop" example is just...well...what can I say?!
(It's like all he pushed was the sides with his widener tool. All I hear is the guitars.)

But hey, it was not my intension to open a real discussion about a probably nice and relaxed guy with good intensions.
I was just impressed by the comb filtering in his room and the "lowback equalizer", that's all...just a smile I thought was worth sharing.

Strategically placed books? Oh please Teddy...listen to the recorded voice in the vid.
My room isn't perfectly treated (but "ok"), but I wouldn't dare to seriously work on, or master music in such a reverberating room
(but the huge windows infront of him look nice)
