Hey guys. I do not make much money where I work, only 7.50 an hour.
Buttttt I have been putting in like 40 hours a week which is pretty solid considering im only 16, and have saved up like $1200-1500 for treating my room.
My question is, where do I start and are there any packages out there meant for the guy like me?
In my many hours of research I have found that Broadband trapping is the most important, while the higher frequencies are more forgiving to mixes.
I have come across this site, http://www.gikacoustics.com/gik_244.html from one of the members on this forum who I would trust in a second after reading countless posts by him.
I have also read about OC 703 and how that would help. I am bias to any fiberglass 703 though, because my mommy says that if the particles break apart and I breath it in, It can hurt me .
I was leaning towards spending $1000 at GC for a bunch of 2'x2' Auralex panels and a bunch of the basic Auralex bass traps.
However, I feel it would be a much wiser investment to get a bunch of those GIK acoustic bass traps (Like 15) and throw them around the room.
Then I would get a bunch of Auralex 2'X2' acoustic panels and use those (only a few though like 10 or so.)
All in all though, I know this will all come out to much more than my budget, so I figure you guys here know whats best to buy and any packages that I could get to save myself money.
I do not want to waste all my money I have worked really hard for because now I know how hard it really is to make money. If anyone could please give me any reccomendations, I would be very thankful!.
Thanks again!!!
EDIT: I forgot to mention, the walls of the room are approx. 400-500 sq Ft.
