I read one of Johns post's that said that a typical gyprock wall attached to a stud frame acts as a bass trap. Is this correct?? What frequencies would this cover?? Would the thickness of the gyprock determine the frequencies?? My thickness is 16mm (.62992"). What frequencies would this...

I was looking at Ethans bass traps and I was wondering why do they have plywood fronts? Does the thickness of the plywood determine the frequency? Does the fiberglass have to have an air gap on each side? What's the difference between Ethans bass traps and high/mid absorbers material wise...

Hey Is it normal to put acoustic treatment behind the monitors? I have Tannoy Reveal Actives which have a bass port on the back. Would the soundwaves bounce off the back wall? Is this good or bad? Should I just leave a plastered wall or should put some type of foam? Thanks Tukkis

Hey I will be getting a digital mixer in the near future (any suggestions?) and I wanted to use ADAT lightpipe to record from the mixer to the computer. Are they any soundcards that just have ADAT optical inputs and outputs? Also I need midi ins and outs. I could use my current soundcard...
