And another question in video form.

Well, the smaller the trap, the lower the performance. An inch or so is not that big of deal I suppose compared to nothing. Curious, why the window frame matters? Are you planning straddling the corner, or doing 'superchunks'?

BTW, Purple is the new manly cool!

Yeah that's what I thought. I thought since I'm going to be building a trap to fit in/block that window anyway (along with 3 other corner panels and 4 free standing ones) it wouldn't be too big of an issue. Am I wrong in thinking that?
Never enough broadband traps right?

Uhhh... whatever building one of these and pushing it in the corner is called

Is there a substantial difference between the two?

And I dont have to go with purple after all

. I'm going to go with this stuff Natural Burlap Fabric

30 yards for $45

The prices in the local places were dumb and I didnt find anything appealing. 4.95 a yard? fock that.

Well, never enough bass traps. Too many broadband traps in a small room can effectively make the room lifeless. The main problem is with standing waves in a small square room with even dimensions. Working at stopping the peaks and nulls with corner traps seems to be the best 'first' task. Adjust the need of further bb panels by what the room sounds like after getting the low end under control.

Man, I was looking forward to seeing purple traps!

Is what I'm (planning on) doing teh overkill?

How about if for that corner's trap I shape the frame a little differently?

**kidkage** · 11-10-2011

I wish i had a non nightmarish way to test the room

**kidkage** · 11-10-2011

Oh, shit.
How about this, does it matter, acoustically, if the frame isn't a tight fit in the corner? if it comes over the window juuust a little?

Naw man, you on the right track. Actually, an air-gap between a bass trap and wall, is beneficial. No worries there.

Have you tried just doing the sine-wave that arcadeko recommended, and listening to the volume of frequencies that need help? You should be able to hear frequencies that get louder or softer than others. Treatments will even these out. Just your ear can work to a degree, as long as drums and crystal meth haven't fried your ears yet. lol! About the meth thing. Not funny really, my step son is in jail for that shit again. Worst drug ever. Anyway, keep your nose clean dood. Music is the best drug.

Did I just do a big brother/dad thing there? Sorry, I'm pissed at my kid.

Oh, really? Well that's great then.
REW is weird for me. How is this stuff Quick Home Studio Monitor Tests - Hometracked ?

I think that ride cymbal has kind of wrecked my right ear

I stay away from drugs, and hope I always can. I've seen it run people in to the ground. Unfortunate situation with your stepson. Hope he gets things together.
And yeah, the music high is the best for me!
Even if its a "watching youtube tutorial high"

I'll take all the advice I can get- music, life it's all the same after all
