Listening Room
You're almost done with your next track, EP or album and want one final check on a neutral, calibrated system before release? In my listening room in Tilburg, you hear exactly what's happening in your production — without the room itself coloring or hiding sounds.
The room is acoustically optimized and tuned as an honest reference: what you hear here, you can trust. The system is built around Neumann reference speakers, two tightly integrated subs, and precise DSP correction.
Typical scenarios where a listening session helps
- You work at home with headphones or small speakers — you want to know how your mix sounds on larger, neutral speakers.
- Je hebt je mix zelf gemastered (of via AI-tools zoals LANDR/iZotope RX), of laat mastering doen via een remote engineer Je wilt het checken voordat je releaset.
- You have a good home studio, but want a second, objective opinion in a different calibrated system. tweede, objectieve mening in een ander gekalibreerd systeem.
- You notice your mix sounds very different in the car than at home and want to figure out why.
- You just want to be sure that what you've worked out holds up across different speakers and systems.
How a listening session works
- We start with a few carefully chosen reference tracks at different volumes, so you immediately feel how the system responds.
- Then we listen to your mix or (pre-)master, with exactly as much feedback as you prefer.
- You quickly discover where your mix is already solid and where there are still improvement points before you release or have it mastered.

The listening room shows what I do: a concrete example of what's possible with thoughtful speaker choice, sub integration, calibration and acoustic treatment — without extremely expensive gear.
Studio & Acoustics Consulting
Want your own studio or listening space to sound just as predictable and reliable as the listening room? I help with targeted advice and guidance, tailored to your space, budget and workflow.
Many producers, engineers and musicians get stuck on questions like: which monitors, sub or no sub, how to position everything, what to do with acoustics, is room correction useful, where to start? Together we bring structure to all those choices, so you progress step by step.
What I can help you with
- Speaker choice and placement
Which monitors suit your space, and how to position them for a stable stereo image and tight low-end reproduction. - Subwoofer choice and integration
Whether a sub makes sense in your situation, how to tune it and make it work seamlessly with your mains. - Acoustic treatment (passive & active)
From simple first steps (positioning, bass traps, absorbers) to smart use of DSP and room correction. - Room correction & calibration
Inzicht in wat software en hardware wél of juist níet voor je oplossen, inclusief het instellen en controleren van de correctie. - Measurements & validation
Measurements as a tool to support decisions, so you don't have to rely solely on "feel."
Approach
- No-obligation initial meeting
I will come by to see your space, understand your goals and explain which steps will have the most impact. - Guided improvement plan
Want to dive deeper? I can guide a process where we combine choices, measurements and fine-tuning into a clear plan for your studio.
I don't take on complete studio designs or construction projects myself. I can connect you with specialized agencies that design and build custom studios, while I stay focused on the audio-technical side and your wishes.
