Junk.is something wrong with these?
Thanks for the articles and the other help.
... how much would you folks throw up on me if I made a video of my room the way it is and asked for set up tips?
Edit: from you all of course.
Man you got two lava lamps!?!? What a boss
Were the drums actually "echoing" when you had the desk on that wall or were they just resonating when you played something through the monitors? From a mixing standpoint you don't want your monitors right next to walls like they are. You want space between the walls and monitors.
Resonating.
I never actually had the desk set up there. But when speaking the drums would resonate the sounds
Worst case scenario I suppose during mxing or vox recording throwing a light blanket over the drums would cut out the resonation.
Yeah, so does my momI love the flower trim along the top
Ok, so that is the list of what I need for the corner traps?You need to treat your corners dude. Superchunks or multi-layer-panels (at least 6" thick).
You can make 4 (8' floor-to-ceiling) corner traps for under $200 with the following:
1 Pack Roxul Safe and Sound 24 x 48 x 6" (8 Batts) Lowes $47
1 Pack Roxul Safe and Sound 15 x 48 x 6" (12 Batts) Lowes $47
6 Yards of felt/burlap/cotton/fleece for covers @ $4/yard = $48
11 yards cheapest cotten ducking/material you can get that is 40" wide 11 @ $1.50~$2 = $16~$20
2 8ft 1x8" pine board - 2 @ $10? = $20
16 straight 8ft 1x2"s = $16
What exactly is that forThen build 8 of these https://homerecording.com/bbs/gener...building-display/some-new-panels-pics-333835/
but make them 8 feet tall instead of 4' tall, use 1x2's instead of the cornerbead. Face the front with the facing material and cover the sides and back with the cheap stuff.
On the face you lay down one 24x48 panel, then lay a 15" panel on top of that.
All you need is a mitre saw (or a regular rotary saw would work too) and a staple gun. Oh and a nailgun or you could use screws but pre-drill them!
An air-stapler works best...
