Workshop: Your Room Sucks!
Trial & Error
DIY Music Conference

Why does your mix sound great in headphones but falls apart in your room? Why does the bass boom in one corner and vanishes in another? In this hands-on workshop, we dive into the world of acoustics – and show you what you can do about it, without breaking the bank. We will take a closer look at:

Acoustic Foundations
We’ll start with an accessible introduction to room acoustics, building acoustics, and psychoacoustics – theory with a direct connection to real-world applications.
Studio-Specific Challenges
What makes a room truly usable for production or critical listening? We’ll explore the unique acoustic demands of studio environments.
Live Room Measurement
We’ll perform a live acoustic measurement of the actual workshop space – see and hear how it really sounds, using tools you can use at home.
DIY Solutions for Better Sound
Forget expensive treatments – we’ll walk you through smart, budget-friendly DIY methods to dramatically improve your sound environment.
Discussion & Q&A
Wrap up with an open discussion round for questions, problem-solving, and personal tips tailored to your space.

Death Shanty Audio

Death Shanty Audio focuses on the production of electronic music and sound design. The studio is equipped with a variety of synthesizers, drum machines and effects units, to create a unique sound for each project.

Hamburger Old Villa

The project had it all. When I first met Johannes, the brain behind “Death Shanty Audio”, at an Ableton workshop in Hamburg, he told me about his plan to set up a professional recording studio in the premises of a Hamburg Art Nouveau villa. The extremely exciting floor plan and the asymmetrical vaulted ceiling made the project a very special one. After completing the recording studio, we were both amazed at how much audible detail was possible in combination with the existing charm of the old building.

Cupra Music Labs Frankfurt

In cooperation with mbakustik as project manager, I was able to provide technical and executive support for this extremely complex project.

UNCOMPROMISING STUDIO ACOUSTICS RIGHT IN THE HEART OF EUROPE

Six recording studios on one floor in the middle of Frankfurt's skyscrapers and old buildings. The main studio in particular, Control A, set standards in studio design, as the room-in-room construction using an acoustic design system not only sounds perfect, but also combines acoustics and air conditioning technology almost silently. Two outstanding monitor systems are used in Control A: the Neumann KH420 setup with KH870 subwoofers and the unique Barefoot Masterstack 12. The Barefoot system, calibrated with the support of Thomas Barefoot, impresses with its exceptional resolution, speed and level stability. This setup offers perfect conditions for demanding sound control rooms.
