Dave Kutch: “After a couple of years of research, I’ve chosen the AttackWall… I am no longer fighting the ‘room sound’ by increasing the volume to overpower it. I too have been guilty of this gross oversight myself. Until recently. Adjusting the acoustics in my room takes only minutes as opposed to weeks with an architect and a construction crew”
“I’ve felt the common Mastering Studio design has been overdue for an overhaul for many years now. After a couple of years of research, I’ve chosen the AttackWall to become a part of that overhaul for me permanently. I am no longer fighting the ‘room sound’ by increasing the volume to overpower it. I can now work at a modest volume and hear everything in vivid detail. More speaker, less ‘room’.
“With the TubeTraps, adjusting the acoustics in my room takes only minutes as opposed to weeks with an architect and a construction crew. As a studio owner this is good business, as an engineer it is an open color palette to be played with. With most recording and mixing now taking place in smaller spaces and in a variety of locations the design and portability of the TubeTraps is more relevant today than when they were created 20 years ago. Art Noxon’s creation was clearly way ahead of its time.”
