DAWBOX™ Designed to work!

     The video/audio samples are from our studio and various spaces around the studio. One of the biggest challenges to a low noise floor come from the horrific amounts of residual outdoor and indoor noise. Our studio sits next to a major HWY about 100ft away. We also have a very noisy laundry room upstairs. 
       The video examples use an "Apogee Mic 96" going into an I-phone. There is no compression or gain added within logic. I hope this helps you understand the near 25 db difference in noise floor. The double wall design when properly implemented and situated can easily yield a -55-58db noise floor. The best example is the washing machine directly over the vocal booth on a hardwood floor! You can hear in the samples that this design eliminates all of the outside noise from the biggest offenders.

Upstairs Office RMS still -24db?

Listen to the upstairs office without acoustic treatment or isolation. Yet still overall even with residential walls it's just a nightmare of noise. This is what zero treatment sounds like. It's unbelievable major YouTube and Media stars still record like this it's like wearing  sweatpants to the Grammys! :)
