Well, since I've made them already, I'm going to use them. I'll do some tests with them and then take them off the wall and do the same tests. I'll determine what I want to do from there. If there is little to no impact, I'll likely get rid of them. But this is down the road. Right now, I...

So....I just read some of Ethan's article on front wall absorption. Now I'm second guessing if I need anything on my front wall at all! I'm REALLY starting to wonder if it was worth it to build the treatment for the front wall. I'm thinking of taking it down now and just placing a couple of...

:D I'm home. I've been kind of caught up in getting over jet lag, the 5 hour time difference, and just general laziness. I did manage to hang one side of the front wall treatment last night and I got the cleat up for the second part. I had to take the LCD mount and those 2x4's off the wall...

Well, I thought that MAYBE I'd get some more stuff done this weekend. But it doesn't look like I'm going to before I head out for vacation. Both sides of the front wall are done and have been moved into the room. I'll hang those when I get back because I have an HDMI cable that I ordered that...

Alright, alright. :D I'll stop worrying about it. Funny you mention it that way, fitz. I didn't know there was a difference between a cleat and a hook cleat. The hook cleat is what I used! I didn't know of any other type of cleat as this is the only one I've really seen. I already did...

It's probably 50 to 75 pounds. The cleat on the wall is held on by three 2" drywall screws. And if it falls, my wood floor is under it! Yikes! And yes, I trust RME's drivers more than my wood skills. I know their drivers are more solid than my work! :D After I get back from vacation, I...

Here's a picture of the back wall treatment hung in place. It's hung with a cleat but it makes me really nervous because it's so heavy. :confused: I'm really afraid it's going to fall. It was a little underwhelming when I got it up there. I didn't think it looked all that good. Not as...

On a randomly awesome note, I ordered my new interface today! I had sold my previous one (RME Fireface 800) when I moved with the intention of upgrading. I was going after the Lynx Aurora 16 initially. As great as it is, I kept hearing not so great things about the stability and such. RME...

Fitz, that thing has some potential to be HUGE (the cloud). Kinda worries me a bit with something like that hanging over my head. Got the second part of the front wall covered with the burlap. I ordered the same color burlap from the same company. I expected that it would have SOME color...

Any temporary thing you build is not going to work. To do it right would take lots of money, time, effort, and would be permanent. You best bet is to save up and move elsewhere. Somewhere that lends itself to more privacy (a place with separate rooms).

Well, it's open cell so it's at least legit. BUT, this line is...well, bullshit. "The tiles are convoluted or 'egg box' profile which offers a greater surface area over flat tiles which enables them to ‘catch’ sound waves more easily and effectively." I think what they're TRYING to say there...

I don't have the AT4060 so I can't make that call. I had the AT4047 at one point and it was a really great mic. I traded it for something I needed, but I can't remember what it was. :) The AT4060, if you can afford it, is a damn good choice. Save yourself some bucks and get the originals...

FYI, I hit the wrong damn button on the vote and voted "No" when I meant to vote "Yes". My bad. I can't figure out how to change my vote...

Thanks much, fitz. Well, I spent the evening in the garage. I got the second frame done for the front wall and got it trimmed up. Tomorrow I'm going to tackle the task of covering it with fabric. With some luck, I'll get that done (it's not easy going around angles and cutting it right)...

The Shure SM7B is a GREAT mic for any vocal. The best part? It's very affordable. Countless people have used it to record #1 hits. Michael Jackson being one. It's a dynamic mic but don't let that deter you. LDC, SDC, dynamic...it doesn't matter. If you're bent on an LDC, check out the...

HOLY..................FUCKING....................SHIT.......................FITZ....................You're insane. That stuff looks awesome, though. Wow! Anyway, what I'm about to post seems like child's play now. :( I was all happy about it but you just totally put me to shame! :D Here's...

I'm getting absolutely sick of working on this shit. Just a message from your friendly neighborhood garage treatment builder. I won't go into the details of why I didn't get much done tonight but suffice it to say, I only attached three pieces of wood today.

Like I said, my house windows do have double glazing. I haven't seen many houses these days that don't unless the house is older. But, I live in the states and things are different in different areas of the world. I'm just saying my house has double glazing. And to your point about double...

All the windows in my house have two sheets of glass (glazing)...which doesn't really matter when it comes to sound. My mentioning of burning the foam was more of a joke but, really, once you get proper acoustic treatment (which you need), the foam will become relatively pointless. All it does...

Awesome drawing. :D Ever tried using SketchUp? On another note, why did you mention double glazing? Don't all windows have a double glazing? Or are you in a glass house? If so, don't get in rock fights. Place the foam in a fire. That'll take care of that. Keep away from the fumes. Then...
