An equilateral triangle has three equal sides.
Well the channel is not called Geometry Talk😁
@@BarryJohns Ha, you started it! 😀
@@MuzixMaker Like I said in the video, sometimes I'm an idiot...... 🤣
Good vibes in your video Barry, thanks for sharing this information!
Thanks for the cornbread information Barry....simply 💯👍
good info. I do think a number of people getting into recording do not start out with room control first.
I recently sent a person a small list of things to help him get started. 1st. was the room! then placement of speakers(monitors) Tried to explain how to set up monitors ETC. I also think having a sub or 2 is a good thing and it helps me to better set my Bass in the mix. I will look for more of your info.
I got some sound traps and ceiling clouds in my studio and it totally changed my world! I use Genelec 8030b and they really sound so killer now. For Genelecs (at least per my model's manual) the acoustic axis to point at your ears is actually the space right right between the tweeter and woofer, so it could be helpful to refer to your monitor's manual since precise placement is so important.
Great point!

I started my recording journey around 1980 around the same time I started gigging around the upper Midwest and there were things I noticed like why some rooms were prone to low frequency feedback and others were prone to high frequency feedback and why the recording studio we recorded at had wonderful low end in the studio but once you took the mix into your car it was lacking in the low end in a big way and I couldn’t understand what the engineer was doing that made the mix so different than what I heard in the studio but I finally get it because back then we didn’t know about room acoustics and why an empty bar sounds different than a room filled with people and why a sub placed in the back corner filled the room more than front firing but now that I’m building a recording studio and I understand that a speaker is a box in a box and everything in the secondary box has a different effect on the sound within it like the 1000 watt Euris speakers 🔊 with 15” speakers in a room with no bass traps 🪤 easily overwhelmed the tiny room and we thought the low end goodness was coming from my bass guitar 🎸 but the more you know the more you grow
Yep!
I bought a bunch of Owens Corning 703 insulation boards. Wrapped it in fabric and placed at reflection points. I did my entire back wall 4 inches deep of 703. As far as reflections from speaker placement within the room, I sat at listening position and had someone run a mirror along wall. When I could see the reflection of the speaker, I treated that spot. I’m also facing the short wall of room. With listening position at about 34% Length of the long wall.
Good move, DYI is always a better option!

Great information Barry. I wonder, what advice do you have for folks with the ability to have A/B setups for multiple monitors.
I should have mentioned that. The same process is used, you would set your main monitors to be in your primary mic position, then the secondary pair to the outside and when you switch to the second set of monitors to check the mix, you can slide your chair back slightly to the correct position for those monitors.
Any experience with Adam A7? I’m wondering if the 77 would be much of an upgrade.
I have not used those monitors so I can’t say.
I would suggest shooting with a higher f stop like f4. Your camera is so wide open that it barely can focus but on a small area at any given time.
Yea, I took it up after I edited the last two videos I put out. I was able to get great results at f2 for others shot after.
It’s a new lens for me, so I’m still adjusting. It’s the Sigma 40mm DG DN Art Lens. I really like it for video! I also use the Sigma 24-70 DG DN Art Lens, both on a Sony A7III.
Triangle apex to your nose or to the left and right ear respectively?
Reasonable question, the conclusion that I came to as I go to the nose. The reason for that is none of a set and a perfectly still position, will move our head slightly around left or right as were listening to things and I don’t think it’s gonna make that much of a difference from that distance with your adding or subtracting a few inches.
Now will especially be true, depending on what weather your monitors have a narrow field or a wide field.
Barry, is there any way to ask you questions?
Sure, email me at: barryjohns@barryjohnsstudiotalk.com
A triangle is not 3 equal sides. An equilateral triangle is though.
Barry are you putting up the illuminati sign? 🤣😂🤣
I’m the grand Mac Daddy, top cheese.
@@BarryJohns 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
First
Wasn't I first 🤣
“You first have to understand what a triangle is”. Dude give me a break, really what is this 1st grade?
Do you honestly know why I actually did that? This video was inspired by a thread in a forum I’m in. It actually went on for several pages about people arguing about what a triangle is.
So yea, sadly I had to say it.
Is there a reason you came at me so harsh?
