Acoustics & Production Science

Syncing Delays and Reverbs

In modern music production, setting delay tails and reverb pre-delays to match the track's BPM ensures a cleaner mix. The formula for a quarter note in milliseconds is 60,000 / BPM. Using triplets or dotted notes adds rhythmic complexity while staying "in the pocket."

Standing Waves and Room Physics

Small rooms possess natural resonant frequencies called "modes." These can cause frequency build-up, making a mix sound muddy or overly bassy. The fundamental mode frequency is found by 1130 / (2 × Dimension).
