All About Diffusion

This is the latest release in the RealTraps "See and Hear" video lecture series. Most people have no way to hear what diffusors do or how they sound in a room. So this video explains diffusion in plain terms with no math, then lets you hear an acoustic guitar recorded in close proximity to five different surface types - a QRD diffusor, a poly diffusor, absorption, a bare wall, and a typical bookcase.

If you have technical questions about this video that require a reply, please do not post them here as comments. YouTube is not a good venue for a technical exchange. Please post your questions in whatever audio forum you know me from, or post in my acoustics forum at www.musicplayer.com.

the real trap wins, it's the only one that doesn't sound muddy, I currently have a bookshelf on my left side in my mixing room but am considering getting the realtraps QRD diffuser to replace it, I have experimented with my own bass traps but they just don't seem to work anywhere near as good as yours, same with diffusion, I would love to try some out and hear the difference, I wish I wasn't in the UK sometimes, where would I buy your products from in england? p.s great video, regards, Ben

@goldensleeves Don't be a dick.. this video is 3 years old.. 1080P was way too expensive back then.

Awesome video!  Excellent descriptions and explanations. :) Much appreciated for this video.

[goldensleeves]

Great video... however I would recommend posting the video in 1080p High Definition

Ethan is brilliant! I must say that my 2year old twin boys were cracking up on the guitar demonstrations!!

You're a great man. I love your video's. I've recently studded a room in my basement and have been working on sound proofing it and then the acoustics of the room. You are very helpful and easy to understand. I love that you show the difference in my options. Typically I'll read about different options with an individual trying to convince me of a certain option without me being able to hear the difference for myself. You are more helpful than you know --thank you so much.

I liked absorbtion better... i worling on a rehearsal room...not much for recording...at least not now. But i really don't know where to start...besides the room insulation. Wether it would be good to just put pyramidal sponge or whatever it's name in english is, everywhere or bass traps and the like...it's a VERY SMALL room.
