Replaces the sticky note with the monitor knob position on it and the wrong-size monitor bought before the room was measured.
30-day money-back guarantee. Use it all; if it doesn't help, every dollar back.
Measure the room once, and every buying decision after it, from interface inputs to monitor size, falls out of your own numbers instead of a guess.

Who it's for
- Anyone about to measure a room and buy gear for the first time, in that order
- A home studio that has grown past the first interface and needs a real signal chain plan
- Anyone getting crackles, dropouts or a room that sounds different every day
- Anyone who tracks or mixes often enough that a per-session recall sheet earns its keep
Who made this
Written by Glen Gomez Meade, a BMI-affiliated composer with music placed on NBC, MTV, Disney+ and Hulu, who tracks and mixes in a treated home room daily. Researched and lived in, not a one-time review copy.
30-day money-back guarantee

Questions
How do I get it?
Pay on the secure Stripe checkout and you land straight on your download page: the full PDF, a ZIP of every sheet as its own printable page, and the companion spreadsheet. Bookmark that page to download again later.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. Print as many copies as you need, one for the wall and one for the road bag. The logs and planners are made to be reprinted every session.
What if it is not what I expected?
Use the whole kit. If it does not help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked. Refund form.
Do I need to buy new gear to use this?
No. Every free step, the room measurement, the listening triangle, the mode arithmetic, costs nothing and comes first for a reason. The buying sheets are there for when you are ready.
How is it different from the free calculators?
A calculator answers one question and forgets it. The kit keeps your room's own numbers together on one page, turns the buying decision into a priced budget, and gives you a recall log and a maintenance schedule that make the tenth session easier than the first.
