Any of the BBS Luthier/Techs here or have any comrades in the DC area? I'm looking to pimp my Epi LP.

I have two twin sized box springs in good shape that I want to fill with rock wool and nail or glue a piece of plywood to the back of. I also have a couple moving blankets that I bought to line my closet with when I recorded vocals there. If I cover the front of the gobos with the blankets will...

I don't hear too much about them. They seem like a good solution for my room but I'm wondering how effective they are. My plan is to use them in the front two corners and panel traps in the back corners and wall. Anybody have any experience or opinions on them?

I have downloaded a bunch of Excel Spreadsheets and done analysis on my room and come up with a bunch of numbers and graphs but I have no idea what it all means or what to do with it all. I'm trying to find out how to treat my room. Do I need slat resonators or will just 703 panels do? If slat...

I'm moving my setup to a couple bedrooms on the 1st floor. The control room has a closet that extends into the space that I want to get rid of. How can I find out it is load bearing or not? I want to do the work myself but I don't want to just whack it down and have the house come with it.

I have been playing around with the idea of building a small (4'x6' or so), rectangular, floated, MDF box (2x4 frame) in the middle of a spare bedroom adjacent to what will be my control room. I would build slot resonators on 2 or 3 of the walls maybe even the ceiling and floor if necessary. I'm...

I didn't want to hijack the fabric thread but it actually reminded me that I have these wrapped 2x2 panels to go in the ceiling corners but I have no clue how to hang them. All my ideas proved to be worthless. Anyone have any ideas that don't require tearing up my ceiling and walls?

The deeper voice rappers that I recorded yesterday didn't sound as good through my Rode NTK-->Dbx 266XL compressor-->Digi 002 pres as the other guys did. They needed a lot of EQ to cut through the mix too. I'm already looking at a Shure KSM44 to record pretty girl voices, I'm wondering what I...

This is a crudely modified plan from the SAE site made to fit my 23'x23' garage. I know I'm trying to do a lot with the space but do you think it will be functional? I don't mind if it's a little snug but I want it to be comfortable and sound great. Any comments or suggestions?

When women with soft, girly voices call to track pop vox at your place which mics do you reach for? Which pres?

I have a 3x3' problem area in my control room. It's the lower left hand corner of the attached file and I'm trying to get some opinions on how I should treat it. I have 14 sheets of 8lb, 2", mineral wool and 8 sheets of 4lb, 2". The blue rectangles in the corners represent 2 wrapped sheets of...

I was wondering if would make sense or do any good to use fiberglass screen door fabric to wrap the mineral wool for accoustic panels? It's actually cheaper than regular fabric. Has anybody tried it or thought about it? In theory would it do any good?

I need to get the AC ducts fixed in my room. It can get between 80-85 degrees in there sometimes. I installed a window AC but it's too loud for mixing and it's letting the traffic noises from outside in when tracking. I'm wondering about liquid cooled cases. Would one keep the PC cold enough in...

Has NEbody exported the Sonar 3 project file of sine waves from Ethan's site? http://www.realtraps.com/videos.htm. I want to run the same test in Protools. I know it's a long shot but...
