It’s a really cool, 3-dimensional reverb time graph. I had never looked at a Waterfall graph before this project. Those two graphs made sense to me so I just stuck with them. The Reverb Time bar chart condenses the Waterfall graph to a very basic view. I could see the same nodes in the Waterfall as you would in the Reverb Time graph, just with more detail over time. The Waterfall graph, if you look at it, is just a more detailed version of a Reverb Time graph to me. Then during construction as we started applying acoustical materials we ran some tests and then after the theater was completed. I wanted to understand the room before we started so we tested the room during the design stage.

I was looking how to tune a room and was looking for objectionable reflections and reverb times.

The honest truth the software was so intuitive that I basically just got in and poked around. We knew we had a reverb problem in the original space. Which FuzzMeasure graphs did you use most and why? In a nutshell, FuzzMeasure is user-friendly, graphical and intuitive. I was looking for something highly graphical and intuitive that works with a Mac.

There were also a lot of good articles on the Internet about optimum reverberation times and I ran across a mention of FuzzMeasure.

Every time I would go to a movie, I would try to figure out things like screen size, seating placement and acoustical treatments (pretending to watch the movie while counting ceiling tiles to get room dimensions). I picked up a lot of acoustic details by learning about movie theaters. After I used FuzzMeasure to see it visually, I could figure it out. It really wasn’t that hard. I have an intuition of how sound waves behave. Sound waves are mathematical, predictable and mechanical. I had more trouble hooking up the preamp than reading FuzzMeasure graphs! I don’t have time to fool around with something that isn’t the best. All the really good software is intuitive.

I don’t want to read manuals to operate anything from cameras to tv’s.

It’s been my experience over the years that professional software is easy to understand and the el cheapo stuff is hard to understand, whether its farm or acoustic software.

How was your experience getting up and running with FuzzMeasure? Why didn’t you go with the free software out there? The dimensions of the room were such that the reverb was terrible! Groups of people would try to talk louder to overcome the reverb. Reverb times were exceeding 1.5 seconds for some frequencies. The room was a barn-like hall with Plexiglass, hard drywall and plywood floor.

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. Robbie Williams is a corn and soybean farmer in Henderson, Kentucky.
