While the whole concept of acoustics is vast, in this article, we will be dealing with the basic understanding of acoustic treating, why it's done and what its relevance is with respect to someone who's looking to find out how much of a difference treating your home studio is going to make.

The first thing you're going to have to look at is your home studio or the room that you're mixing in, recognise how your room sounds and how you've placed your monitor speakers with respect to where you're listening from and the shape of the room. Straight off the bat, we are going to clear off the confusion, acoustic treatment is not sound proofing. It does not prevent sound from getting in or out of your room. Acoustic treatment is simply done to reduce the reflection of sound and to cut off frequency build-ups. This is done to change or to tune the sound of your room to make it sound a lot more tighter.
