EnjoyWe Give Up! Things are not what they used to be!Home Theatre Engineering2024-02-13 | After taking January off as they do, Andrew and Enzo kick off another year at HTE, or do they?
It seems They Give Up! Things just aren't the way they used to be!
What does this all mean? Well the main issue here is that people are turning more and more to channels with high follower counts instead of to people with true expertise. This means poor outcomes for customers, bad advice, money spent on the wrong equipment and poorly or non calibrated systems that customers are either not happy with or think is they best they can get!
Always seek out professionals with knowledge tools, experience and a track record.
If something seems to good to be true - it probably is.. true performance takes time, expertise and investment to whatever level you are comfortable with.
Just because someone has a lot of followers is not in indication of qualifications nor expertise or experience.
That said, we wish everyone a great 2024Trinnov Waveforming Training. Waveforming is available now in limited numbers!Home Theatre Engineering2023-11-24 | ...Room Designs and Home Theater Setup Help at Budget PricesHome Theatre Engineering2023-11-22 | Hi Folks
We are always keen to help those that we can. We have been looking at ways to help all of the people who have asked us but our team has just been to busy. But we have expanded and now we can help more people with their Private Home Cinema projects through our new "Budget Room Design and Help" program.
These budget room designs start at $599 AUD but please understand if your room or requirements are more complex the price will increase. We will send you a questionnaire and that will help us work out exactly what needs to be done.
The Budget rooms designs include all you need to get great results though. You still get a 3D model (framework) but no fancy 3D renders etc. You will get time to discuss your job or technical issues with us though. So . . .contact us using the links below
You also can request to book 30 mins or an hour of online support with us by reaching out to us at the same way.

In this video we talk about "E" the missing ingredient.
E is for Experience and it is Essential !
We cannot possibly know what we are aiming for if we don't know what we can achieve, if we haven't experienced this.
So, it is important to know what is possible so that you can set your sights but also know when something is falling short.
Once we all know what can be achieved companies are also forced to deliver and we mean deliver quality not just product. You need to know that the people you are dealing with have done a good job and actually delivered the EXPERIENCE you now know is possible.
We wish you many happy movies!The Fairy Tale is OVER ! Disney says NO MORE PHYSICAL MEDIA in Aus = No more high quality content.Home Theatre Engineering2023-08-21 | In Australia for now at least this means going forward no more high quality content! It's streaming only for Disney. So you don't have the option to experience the movies in their best (and native) quality. Well done Disney.
The really sad thing is for those who love high quality content this is just another nudge in the wrong direction to access their movies in ways that result in even less revenue for the studio!Look at those colors!

This is going to be FUNRoom Correction (Auto Eq) Lies !! The problem with bass room modes.Home Theatre Engineering2023-03-24 | Andrew discusses the process of automated room corrections and why they don't always manage bass modal issues well.
The importance of planning in advance and measuring after the event is critical and making manual adjustments then becomes so important.
The ideal procedure is to: 1) Plan the room and ideally use multiple subs if needed. 2) Set up your room subwoofers for the prime listening position first.. 3) Then run your auto EQ. 4) Test afterwards and adjust as necessary.

I felt it deserved that.
Whilst in Carson City Nevada USA last week (Nov 2022) I had the extreme pleasure to meet and talk with Andrew DeCristofaro who as the title says is the Supervising Sound Editor for feature films such as Spirited, Unbroken, Iron Man 3, Green Book and many more.
Andrew is an absolute gentlemen and truly passionate about his work and here he shares and talks about his love for his craft and shares that he wishes everyone could hear all the detail that goes into the soundtracks. In a separate session that I couldn't record Andrew showed us how a soundtrack is created and explained that some tracks can have up to 800 separate tracks or stems and then built up an example in front of our eyes.
I want to thank Andrew personally for making time early in the morning to sit down with me and have this conversation.So you want to build a Private Home Cinema?Home Theatre Engineering2022-11-05 | This video shows some of the challenges a room can present and some of the approaches we take to meeting these challenges.I’m coming to America !

Andrew talks about the details of room design and why questions that appear simple are in fact complex. The interconnected relationship of all things in a Home Cinema and how this connectedness determines the end result.
Why Room Design is so critical and why it must be treated as a component just like anything else.
