    Some good posts here. Another term to look into is auralization (often discussed in reference to room acoustics). I have done some research into architectural acoustics and real-ti…

    I consult for manufacturers and fabrication shops. In my experience there aren’t really centralized repositories of info for this stuff like there is in tech. It took me a while to…

    I don’t buy a lot of their other products but IMO the fine woodworking stuff always hits the mark. It’s not about brand for me, it’s about quality. Their gear also saved me hundred…
