#Reverb reflection graph software#

We were converting a little-used space in the park’s museum that had horrible acoustics. What was the problem in the theater space you were trying to solve with FuzzMeasure? From the very beginning, we used FuzzMeasure to analyze the space where we wanted to build the theater.

Although I am a layperson and first time FuzzMeasure user, the software was intuitive and easy to use. I did a lot of research online and came across FuzzMeasure. I put a few acoustic details into the project.

My friend and local architect Tim Skinner was the real designer, a great local architect who came up with the original floor plan that fit inside of the existing museum building. Robbie tuned the room and dramatically transformed the acoustics of the theater space with the help of FuzzMeasure.īe advised that I'm not a sound professional. A 50-seat theater was designed with a media server with 7 audio channels looping twelve hours of high-definition video content with surround sound, showing in-house produced nature films. Robbie had a vision of a multimedia theater in the museum to showcase Audubon’s work. Robbie retells the story of James Audubon going bankrupt with his gristmill in Henderson, then being jailed for bankruptcy before leaving for Europe and finding fame and fortune there as the “American frontiersman”. The Audubon State Park in Robbie’s hometown of Henderson, KY houses the largest collection of John James Audubon art and memorabilia for the famous painter and naturalist who lived there for many years. A telephone call to discuss FuzzMeasure is scheduled around planting and farming hours when Robbie’s not out on his tractor. Higher values correspond to a less absorbent medium.Robbie Williams is a corn and soybean farmer in Henderson, Kentucky.Lower values correspond to a more humid medium.The default value of 0.994 (-0.05 dB) per unit approximates normal atmospheric humidity and temperature.In very large spaces, the effect of the air absorbing high frequencies may exaggerate this tendency, giving the reverb tail a rolling or thunder-like quality. As a result, reverberation time of low frequencies turns out to be longer. The reason for such filtering is the following: all materials in the sound environment are more efficient at reflecting specific sound frequencies, but in most cases high frequencies tend to be absorbed more readily than low frequencies.

The air absorption controls the distant-depending attenuation at high frequencies based on the propagation medium properties. The present parameter is applied to the reflected sound in the reverberation zone. Similar to the corresponding parameter of the sound source, the transition of the reflected sound through the specific medium, such as fumes or, on the contrary, dry heated air, can be simulated. The change in tonal coloration indicates the reflective quality of the wall - whether it is highly reflective or somewhat absorptive that mutes reflections. For example, a strong and immediate primary reflection tells that the walls are close.

Of course, it is not possible to reproduce the exact location geometry, but the character of the reflections gives some indication of the immediate surroundings. The integrated sound not only seems to be louder, but it may take some tone coloration.Įven in complete darkness, the listener can orient basing on the sound environment cues. Though being perceived a split second later than the original sound, they are still interpreted by the brain as one integrated sound because of their similarity and closeness in time. This sounds are called the first-order and second-order reflections. It can also continue to the next obstacle to be bounced off for the second time. But the most part bounces off and then reaches the listener's ears. When a sound wave reaches an obstacle, a smaller part of it is absorbed by the material depending on its rigidity and density characteristics.
