No, so basically I put some links in the chat. You can have a look at Acoustic Insider. That guy is going through a lot of the concepts that are needed for what you're asking.
45:18He also has this amazing YouTube channel, which is called Acoustics Insider. This guy, Jesko, is taking you along all different types of things that you need to be checking out. And yeah, Jesko is a cool guy. I think he's from Portugal initially and he's moved to Germany. And he also does consulting, but his free stuff is really, really full of knowledge. I apologize, Alexander?
45:54Yeah, and so my suggestion is, he has a YouTube channel for this, but I would recommend you visit acousticfeels.com. I will put a link in the chat. Dennis Foley, the guy that owns that company, he's a real acoustic engineer. He's been doing it for 30 plus years. His stuff's being used all around the world. His video tutorials are incredible. Like he they're like they're very short and they're kind of taught like a class
46:20Like if you were to take take a class on it It's and he explains it to you like assuming you know absolutely nothing about acoustic design If you go to acoustic feels calm You will see that he's got a free if you go to videos These are just links to the stuff on YouTube, but you'll see there's a free PDF If you put in your email address, you can download this free acoustic guide

So if you want to be part of his community, you can actually – you can sign up for it. It's free and he often will post there and provide comments and feedback. And if you're designing a room, he can also give you a free assessment as well.
47:08And who's next? I'm dealing with – Jeff Collins next. Yeah, Jeff Collins, sure. All right. Here we go. So I'll give you a couple from the flip side, which is a lot of these panel companies have all kinds of great tools. Audi Mute, and I can put links in the chat also. So these guys, first of all, they'll just give you a free consultation,
47:32which if you have a room or a room you've worked in is great. Take them up on the offer. And some of these have tools on the site. So Prime Acoustic has at the top here this room designer and acoustic calculator tools. So really cool stuff. You could play around with that. And they, of course, you know, you map out the room and they'll tell you what kind of stuff you need.
47:56And then where's the other one? And then there's one more. Here we go. GIC Acoustics. So they also have a room designer right here. So three great. And a lot of the panel companies now are adding this also, either the free consultation or these calculators that they have that help you tweak and play around with what works. And let's see. And that's it.
48:20So, hey, I hit the wrong button a while ago, and I apologize. So Andre Dole had a question. It had a lot of votes. I accidentally hit the wrong button, and I sent it back to Andre. But the question was, he's in an event, loud room, a lot of bouncy walls, guy goes up on stage, PA's pretty loud, everybody's talking, nobody's paying attention.
