Yooooo I've been playing with the multi-layer absorber calculator trying to figure out the potential results of these tube traps mentioned in my previous post... I'm using the following numbers for the calculations...accurate to the best of my knowledge based on researching the forums but please chi...

Ok, so I've been doing more research on the tube trap thing and have decided to try a version without the sonotube for now. Basically it's just one of those fiberglass tubes (meant to be used for pipe insulation). I plan to stuff it with pink fluffy and wrap with fabric. I ordered a single 3 foot 10...

If these estimates are correct, it looks like the density of sonotube cardboard is similar to that of plywood??? Could that be even close to true? And if so, does that mean the sonotube cardboard would perform similarly to the plywood of made into a poly? Reference: https://www.cloudynights.com/topi...

So I've been doing some more research on polys. I've learned a few things, I think... 1. Polys (as well as QRDs) work better when not placed side by side IF the same exact panel/pattern is being repeated. i.e. one poly is better than 3 of the exact same poly side by side (same with QRDs) BUT if the ...

2031 Right. But rather than lose more space for thick absorption back there, I'm thinking that a single large poly or wedge back there might be a better option. It would look nicer too, and not suck out even more highs like porous absorption would. Might be an idea. If it is decently large (wide an...

Also, I plan to move the couch out in the near future! Trying to get the room as symmetrical as possible. Gotta figure out what I’ll be doing with it though lol. And my two custom racks are in the works. I’m really stoked for these. A buddy of mine has access to a CNC machine so we are doing some cu...

Here are the photos. Didn't have room in the last post. Also, I think the dip around 700hz in phases 2 and 3 of the above charts might be due to the new desk and different spacing from front wall. I am further back now and with a smaller desk. The speakers are a bit further apart than originally and...

Whatsup acousticians! :ugeek: I'm back with another update and pretty happy with the results so far (especially based on what I am hearing and experiencing as I mix/master). Things have improved tremendously since starting down this path back in July! Translation from studio to car, etc has become s...

Anybody got thoughts? Would love some feedback!

Cheers

I’m also considering building some diffusion panels to throw on the upper portion of some of the side walls. I was on a ladder today and there is significant flutter echo in the part of the room. Any idea if this method actually works? https://youtu.be/cKc3M30ePuc It’s cheap and light. Maybe I could...

Hey Jag, thanks for the comments! Yes we are super happy with how the panels turned out. I’m sure there are some easier/quicker methods out there but if you want looks plus functionality, these are worth the extra effort! We have two pieces of 3” AFB per panel so 6” total. The frames are 1x8 so a to...

Here's some better zoomed in images of the SPL before/after (pink before, blue after). There seems to be some weird phase stuff going on in the high end of the new setup. I think it could be the ceiling bounce? Since the mix position is further back and the speakers are closer to the front wall, the...

Here are some photos. Also, I have the Eves as close to the front wall as possible to help with SBIR. And the door looks nicer on the opposite side from the studio room as you can see in the photo lol. I plan to paint it on the studio side at the very least. And it is not for super isolation. I just...

Long time no post! Man what a crazy year it has been. I have been juggling a ton of different things and keeping things updated on the forum took a back seat. That being said, here's a big update! I'm revisiting the idea of building soffits for my current room because the studio build in the back ya...

I was wondering about your explanation on this issue Stuart so I searched for "Sonarworks" and found this amazing reply. And now it makes much more sense! So there totally is a time and place for using "digital tuning/eq" but not until the room has been treated as much as possibl...
