So: I called my local insulation dealer to inquire about Owens Corning 703 insulation and found that they carry the four inch thickness stuff in cases of four for just $25 a case.
Can I just cover these pieces in porous fabric and hang them and still have fair results for my mixing and recording room?
Would they *have* to be mounted in a frame, or can I just wrap them in material and stick them to the walls? Does the wooden frame would have something to do with absorption or is it mainly for aesthetics? I'm not worried too much about appearance as I am acoustics.
My plan is to cover them, and then hang them:
1. In all the corners of the room, including the corners where the wall and ceiling meet
2. About 1.5 - 2' from each other down every lengh of wall
3. Two or three on the ceiling above where I'll be mixing
Anyway, at that price I figure I can make 20 for my 12' X 13' room for less than $200.
Is this a good idea for a one-man band with a day job? IE, this isn't my business but a hobby.
