In another thread, it was suggested that perhaps I should move to the countryside, referring to possibly disturbing close neighbours by playing drums (drum set, aka... LOUD. Peaks over 120 dB.) in an urban or suburban area. Now I'll try to skip everything irrelevant and get to the technical...

This is something I was researching yesterday and couldn't really find an answer. It's said that in any regular (rectangular/cuboid shaped) room, the most "problematic areas" are the corners. Basically my question is: isn't the simplest way to correct the problem then simply to do anything to...

A room. Three walls are thick concrete/plaster/brick. The "door" or "fourth wall". How to prevent low, including very low (under 100 Hz), frequency sound from getting through? Rockwool, fiberglass and similar materials only absorb or block high frequencies, so why would one use them at all as...

EDIT: VERY IMPORTANT: NO ONE, AND I MEAN ABSOLUTELY NO ONE IN THIS THREAD HAS SAID YOU SHOULD USE POLYSTYRENE PRODUCTS FOR ANYTHING. PLEASE DO NOT "line your studio walls" WITH POLYSTYRENE. IN CASE IT IGNITES, THE BURNING FUMES PRODUCED ARE TOXIC. YOU COULD DIE. Thank you. --- Hi. Don't be...

Hi This is one really old debate to me, with an old friend. It's about a garage door and the question is about sound going out. Which is the better choice: a) one REALLY thick layer (50 cm) of particleboard, or b) at least two layers, separated by an air gap or gaps? I would even tend to...

...any two supposedly equivalent audio related things, really? No, I am serious. This came up again the other day, as a friend thought one of my recordings could've done with a bit more "presence" etc. etc. I know this is an age-old topic in itself, but I did spend time and could not find...

Hi This is was time-critical so I apologize for possible omissions or vagueness. I'll have more details later... if that even matters at that point. The flat steel roof above the rehearsal space is being replaced because of thermal insulation problems. Currently the roof structure is just...

Rob, the basic concept has not changed. A quick recap: I already have 2x4's, chipboard, blockboard, beadboard, felt, old carpets, polyurethane panels, wall plugs, screws, nails, and probably something I forget -- everything I need to build something. Right? I also live a walking distance away...

I'll add more detail later (not too much later I hope). Anyway, a simple concept and a simple question to start with. I'll say right now that I'm looking for just a slight improvement and I'm not going to do a TON of work. So, there's a drum set in the corner of the room right next to a plaster...

Greets I've been looking for a small interface for my home computer, mainly to record electric guitar. So far I have on my list Steinberg UR22 mk2, Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 gen2, Presonus Audiobox USB 96 and... Behringer UMC202HD. They are in the same price range and externally (meaning "it looks...
