Garden mix room near Nottingham, UK

2990 I'm a little concerned with the foam you are using. That came to mind when I saw your foam photos, Gareth, but I was too tired to start trying explain. Jag94 is right, though, how foam disintegrates over time (we are talking about a few years) so it will be necessary to leave access to the sil...

Basement studio/drum room advice needed

2984 I think I understand, but let's walk through it: - Baffles are needed on both sides (ie, on the inner and outer leaf) Yes, the best isolation is to be had by having 4 baffle boxes as you describe. 2984 ... (pipe in the middle is sealed with insulation/caulking, not hard attached)... (the outer...

Whishes and..about this forum future

Stuart has been quiet recently which is a surprise to us all. Stuart will either be busy with work, family, holiday or ill. Others have sent him emails or private messages which he has not yet answered so you are not the only one. Your suggestions about others helping out will only work if other peo...

Basement studio/drum room advice needed

2975 basement top 3d-2.jpg Sorry, ScotcH, but it looks to me in the above and some other images that you have two baffles in series on both the in and out airflows, but not as I would expect, which would be one pair on the outside of the outer room and the other pair on the inside of the inner room...

Private studio in Slovakia

Hello again. I wanted to at least get something of an update in before Christmas, so here is where things are at. The drop-ceiling frame has been painted, installed and levelled. We (my wife and I) have been making our own ceiling tiles which has been and still is time-consuming. If anyone is intere...

Has Anybody Heard From Stuart In A While?

Hi Jag, please don't think he is ignoring you; he has not yet replied to a PM from me a couple of weeks ago. Stuart was on the forum yesterday. His last post on the forum was on 8th December which is unbelievable when you know how active he normally is. There will be a reason, whether lots of other ...

Exterior block wall options

Your question about the air gap seems to be a continuation of your other topics, Contrary information? and Basement studio/drum room advice needed , where you have plenty of helpful advice from Jag94 and others. If your final drawing, version 2, in the latter topic is still correct then the gap will...

Garden mix room near Nottingham, UK

2954 Is this what others have done? Not quite but then my studio is in a north-facing room in a larger brick building so my studio's temperature range is likely to be considerably less than yours. It might be worth looking through the wood-framed barn type studios done in Canada and the USA over on...

I am impressed by your router work and also your attitude to Green Glue and doing it right rather than doing it cheap.

Music studio in a basement with a party wall

Hello matcaz. In many countries there are laws, often local laws, which dictate whether you can build a studio in a house and what levels of noise are lawful at different times of the day. Sound going through a shared wall is not only the volume of sound that treavels through the air but also sound ...

LP1051.jpg Superchunk bass trap: 60cm x 60cm with an 85cm hypotenuse (face) = 24" x 24" with a 34" hypotenuse (face). Lower GFR fibreglass or mineral wool for bass traps than typical broadband traps because they are deeper. I made 12 superchunk traps, each one a third of the height o...

I agree with your maths but what concerns me is the f0 of 39.9Hz. That is the resonant frequency of your MAM system which means you do not want to be working close to that frequency. That is almost E (which is 41Hz), the lowest note on a 4-string bass. Mixing songs that go down to that E could be pr...
