Hi Romy.

Why trying to reinvent the wheel? Everything about room treatment and room accoustics has been said and done. By a guy totally in the know and offering his advice and his tools on his website. Michael Green does NOT damp, diffuse, trap or whatever the "old school" approaches are. He TUNES rooms and audio-gear like instruments are TUNED to make real music come alive...
This should be worth your consideration.

The stigma attached to the “reinvent the wheel” is not truly accurate. There is nothing wrong with “reinvent the wheel” – it is all about not how actions appeal to others but what motivates a person to do action in a first place. There are plenty people out there who do not “reinvent the wheel”, use experience of other and in most of case do not understand of what they do - they are Morons. Did you ever try to ask them “Why?” I did and I can testify that they have no sense of individual actions in audio and as only justification for their own action is the ever-present reply: because someone else did it. Alternatively the can give you a completely bogus justification that was pre-developed for them by audio marketing whores and the completely meaningless. Sure, they do not reinvent the wheel, but the also do not accomplish anything. I estimate that 90% of audio participants in that camp.

In my case I use empirical consequence and empirical demands of my actual Sonic results and if in some cases I do reinvent the wheel then… then I do not care. Why shall be bothered but the fact that reinvent the wheel if I act in according with my own understanding? If I do reinvent a wheel then it will be my wheel and I will ride on my wheels my own carriage. I do it not to sell wheels, not to declare ownership of the wheel concept but for no other reasons then make my own carriage to ride smoother. If so, the why do I care who reinvented the wheel?

Regarding Michael Green. Bernie, can you explain in a few words what he is saying and what he is doing? I have read this character before and since you mention him I read a few his posts again. I truly do not get what he is doing and even what is trying to do. It looks like he does very rudimental and banal things and then and them with fancy names “tuning”, “optimization”, “harmonization” etc… His posts that promised practical steps offer no tangible practicality, no methodology but rather very basic and very simplistic things. Perhaps I did not read what I need to read but from what I read I did not detect any “wheels” in what Michael Green saying. Would question the notion of tuning audio-gear “until real music come alive” but I did not see that Michael Green saying anything practical or original on the subject. My Cat rolls from one side to another and by doing it she can fee that she creates a world economical crisis, bit I do not think she does. I do not day that Michael Green is a buffoon but in what I have seen/read I did not detect any substance in his comments that would make me feel that he “tunes” anything or offer any “new school" approach. I might be mistaken, please show me that I am wrong.
