Default Need room acoustics consultant - Los Angeles

Hey all,

I'm looking into a space in Venice as a possible place to rent for a mix room. It has been used as a mix room in the past, but I am a bit befuddled by the choices made in the room design in terms of its acoustic properties. For example: concrete floor, mostly bare drywall walls (thankfully not all paralell), a bizarre fan-like structure which looms overhead of the console area that is made of wood (reflective)... All these things go against everything that I know about proper room-treatment.

I'd like to hire someone who really knows this stuff to come have a look at the space with me and give me an honest assesment of what room improvements need to be made. If any one knows such a person, please pass on their info. Thanks much!

andy hay

I've had good results with Ken Gouras (who's done a lot of DTS's music rooms). Email me at [email protected], and I'll give you his number.

Call John Storyk his URL is waltersstoryk.com. He's the best there is and he works all over the word.
I've worked in some of his rooms and there great. I also took classes with him and have done design in the DC area and what I learned from him impressed not only me but my clients as well.

Hi Andy,
Contact Hanson Hsu of Delta-H Design at www.deltahdesign.com
He's one of the few people in town who understand both recording studios AND film mixing stages, and the properties unique to both.

Good luck!
