Yes you still need to treat your room. You're still going to want bass traps around your room and if your recording drums your going to want a cloud absorber. If your standards aren't that high, by all means, try out recording with just some gobos and see what you think. If it's good enough...

that's kind of cool. Now how applicable that really is, is another story lol

Correct, sorry if I wasn't very clear :D

Well you are generally close micing vocals and guitars (within a 6 inches or so), it's not bad thing if you do have something above them, it's just not completely necessary to place treatment above them to get a dryer sound if you're close micing something. Close micing in itself, is taking a...

Generally not for recording things like guitars, vocals, bass, and instruments like that, not to say you can't. If your recording drums you generally want to have a designated drum recording area, where you would have a cloud absorber placed on the ceiling above them to help control the sound...

It's still pretty much the same principle as a mixing position. Treat first reflection points, bass traps, clouds. Ear level/speaker height is where you want the center of the panel to line up with. You can use a free room measurement tool like REW REW - Room EQ Wizard Home Page, to see if...

Just search the things on youtube you want to learn, there are plenty of online videos of people teaching various techniques, scales, etc. If there's anything in particular your looking for, PM myself or someone else, I'll be more than happy to find a video that will help spell out everything...

maybe just something you have to deal with, pickups in some cases can and do pickup outside noise. I can scream into my SGs pickups and it'll pick it up. And if it's for just recording ideas, is it really going to be that big of a problem?

Lol the poor girls :p, I was messing with one this past October. She said, "So why are you buying 50 yards of black fabric? Are you making a halloween costume or something?"...I said, "something like that...you know how most people when they want to be ghosts just put a white sheet over...

Definitely shop around then. Lowes is selling Roxul now: Linky There's also a material called, "Ultra Touch", which is actually recycled denim made into insulation. I've made a couple panels out of them and the absorption specs are better than OC and a few of the others. Here's a link to...

You can always look into the mac minis. Love those things! I realize it's not a laptop, but it's better than most base level macbooks, has multiple USB ports, Firewire, and Thunderbolt, and is more than capable of handling audio processing.

I just did my taxes yesterday, give me a week and I may swoop up that last pair of 81s.

Here's one way - How I built my bass traps... - Gearslutz.com Search this forum though, there's plenty of people that have posted their builds here. And don't forget about a cloud absorber if your tracking drums in a smaller room.

Just the intro to Crazy train is another one I hear constantly...over...and over...and over again!

Hey guys, I was just recently approached by a local production company and got to talking with the owner and found out they really didn't have a "sound engineer" on their team. I got to talking with them and told them I was more than capable of doing anything from voice overs or recording sound...

absolutely loved the clean part. Wish he would have turned the gain down a bit for the rest. Sounded really good though.

simply treating all your corners isn't going to make it a dead room. Even trapping all the corners, and then putting absorbers at your reflection points and putting a cloud up, you would still not cover half of your overall surface area in the room. Which is what you want, a controlled...

haha +1

I mean, it really has nothing to do with your first reflection points. I personally don't understand the benefit of having a trap behind your monitors other than just further cutting down on any potential reflections. The sound comes out of your speakers has to bounce off the back wall and...

You can put your desk in front of the window if you want, it's not a big deal. Your speakers are facing the other way. You can put a panel behind them if you'd like, not completely necessary for getting those first points. You may just be able to lay one long ways on the windowsill. Think...
