Hey everyone, Rod Gervais is providing 2 links on page 13: "Please go to the Thomson Web site at www.courseptr.com/downloads or my Web site, http://www.rodssoundsolutions.com/ and visit the “Outside the Box” page. There you’ll fi nd a wide variety of useful tools to help you on your quest." Those links are dead! Can anyone please tell me where to get those tools he talks about? Thanks

that's what's ye get with Internet, it's too damn volatile...
FPR
Dang! Even Rod's website is volatile? Anyone knows if he has a homepage i can contact him? A guy who builds studios for 30 years must be able to keep his website online for the time he sells the book, no? :D Anyways, the toolkit includes the following files:  Panel Absorber.xls, called “Panel Absorber” on the Web site. A simple calculator for a narrowband panel trap, written by the author.  Fmsm_calc_RG(2).xls, called “Fmsm Calculator” on the Web site. A calculator to determine the Mass Air Mass Frequency of various wall assemblies you might consider constructing, written by Brian Ravnaas.  OC 703-705.xls, called “Absorption Coeffi cients” for OC 703/705 on the Web site. Simply a spreadsheet of the Owens Corning 703/705 line of rigid insulation for use with some of the toolbox tools. Please build on this for your use. Provided by the author.  TLmodeler_mini_RG_(2).xls, called “TL Mini Modeler” on the Web site. A neat little tool for the analysis of Transmission Loss data in wall assemblies, written by Brian Ravnaas.  helpTLmodeler_mini[2].pdf, called “TM Mini Modeler Help File” on the Web site. A help fi le for use with the above mentioned tool.  sabin - RT60 calculator.xls, called “Sabin - RT60 Calculator” on the Web site. A simple calculator to enable you to determine your future room’s RT60 empty, as well as when you install treatments. A good tool for budgeting purposes, written by the author.  HVAC Calculator.xls, called “HVAC Calculator” on the Web site. A calculator to determine sensible and latent HVAC loads in your studio, written by the author.  Quadratic Diffusor.xls, called “Quadratic Diffusor” on the Web site. A calculator for “Well Type Quadratic Diffusors,” ranging to prime 31. Includes a side view and inverted 3D view of your diffusor, written by the author.  resonance_toolbox(2).xls, called “Resonance Toolbox” on the Web site. This is a great little tool by Brian Ravnaas that calculates single panel isolation values based on mass law, and also includes a modulus and critical frequency calculator for free panels, a bound panel resonance calculator, and a multi-layer panel stiffness calculator.  Helmholtz Calculator.xls, called “Helmholtz Calculator” on the Web site. A simple calculator for slat-type Helmholtz traps, written by the author.  Room Mode Calculator.xls, called “Room Mode Calculator” on the Web site. Written by Jeff D. Szymanski, PE, this is probably the best room mode calculator I have ever worked with. If you want to calculate it, this tool gives it all to you. Would be nice to post a link if you have more infos; Cheers.

Ok, his homepage link is: http://www.rodolphegervais.com/Rodolphe ... u_son.html Looks like i didn't type his name correctly the first time. I sent him a mail & will let you guys know if he provides me more infos. I have to rectify that this link is NOT Rod's Gervais' website but a French homonym. Sorry for any inconvenience. :oops:
