Well for starters it's a digital piano only direct, so none of this will matter but I may add a mic at most (just me), prompting the question. Don't have a mic yet. Basically I want this to sound "good" but I'm not a pro and not expecting it to dazzle and amaze.
I've read about treatments but I'm not up for throwing foam this or that all over the place
At the risk of drifting somewhat off topic, has anyone made their own bass traps or improvised something otherwise pretty cheap/easy to set up?
Way too busy, but thx. I like MM's "just stack it" idea. Don't give a flip about pretty, just effective. Appreciate it
No, I meant just what I said I think it's a given that included in that is where treatment will do the most good, ie not looking for a perfect solution.What the OP means, I think, instead of "Bare Minimum" is "Where will treatment do the most good".
Actually it does, although it's not exactly a precise thing (the gist of the room is in the OP).So "bare minimum" has no meaning really because every room is different
Nah. I might decide on that later on, but offhand I doubt I will need to go that far.measurement software and mic are essential.
Clearly - but again I'm not looking or expecting to have a top-end studio sound.just putting up corner units using what the local hardware store has in stock is a guess at best.
Sure I will, via my ears, which are more than enough as a barometer.While I would agree that filling corners in this fashion (without measurement data) is likely to improve bass decay and FR smoothness in most cases, you wont know by how much or in what areas of the frequency domain.
