I poked around a bit more on this subject. Even looked at super chunks for the traps. In the end, I ordered 2 packs of the 3" SnS to start. The room is a real compromise as it's almost square 10' with an 8' ceiling (typical bedroom). :( So... Traps, first reflections, cloud, etc... Hopefully...

Thanks for the info on the bass traps. They're what I'm building first so I'll go with doubling. As far as first reflections, I may just go with the 3" as well.

My read was that Corning 703 & Roxul SnS are close (no expert here). I like the idea of no fibers compared to fiberglass. One of the bass traps behind me will block a door so it will be moved daily. As will one of the first reflection units.

So I've finally have my spare room to setup. I've look long and far to find 2" or 4". But low and behold I can only find Roxul Safe N Sound in 3" thicknesses (special order from Lowes here in Los Angeles). So... double up to 6" for the bass traps and then use 3" for first reflections and such? Bill

The only time I've had to use a DI was because my crappy Presonus Audiobox USB was too hot for the daw even with my strat straight in. The DI (cheapy $35) has a pad that lowers the signal enough to work. The downside is it colors the sound a tiny bit. If you can get a good signal, leave the DI...

Thought about posting in the Drum section but figured it might be insulting to real drummers. :p I'll follow the threads listed. Thanks!

Been using EZDrummer for a bit now. Like most, I've found finding proper grooves (and cataloging them a bit cumbersome). The specs for II look like they've greatly improved the flow. Anyone here like to comment about it?

Just a thought, consider some of the higher end low watt tube amps. Roundup! 11 Micro Tube Amps | GuitarPlayer These amps are not toy sounding. Bill

This thread (though starting out a bit rough...) brings to light a common issue for us home recording folks: Recording big sound in a quiet house. I've been fighting with amp sims (Guitar Rig sucks for me), foot pedals (they are not a substitute for low volume amps), and micing. So for my needs...

Maybe even a newb question but (using Reaper here)... I have an 80's era Aural Exciter in a rack. I used to use it in my old analog mixer and tape days. I've recently dug it out of retirement by chaining it between my condenser mic and Audiobox input. But that requires just the right settings...

Too much foam? I'm no expert but... Maybe too much foam is making it rather "dead"? Also, If you do a final mix then play it in various other places (car, iPod, etc...) does the perceived lack of bass also translate to those as well?

I have the 305's in the same size room. I like them for my type of singer songwriter music. I just finished some simple tall bass traps so far for 4 corners (What a diff so far!). Have more work to do with reflections and more traps. With no treatment, the fake bass will be blasting in your room...

I used to think they mostly just needed to fit rhythmically with the song. Then my girlfriend (now wife) have made it very clear: words come first. Turns out it works for me too. I used to create a LOT of unfinished song intros or choruses. Now I sit and put down words. Odd but seems to make me...

I'm a newb but... Are those tweaters at ear level? They look much higher in the pics.

I have "bottom rung" JBL LSR305's. Yes, they too sound bassy and flat: In my untreated room. I recently tried them in a friends treated room on isolated stands. HUGE difference. They sound great to me. Fairly even response that seems to translate to my home stereo and even my mp3 player. I...

Missed the part about using only 2" traps. I often see on various sites Auralex mentioned as expensive and underwhelming in its performance. True?

Perhaps many here may have seen this one produced by Sweetwater, but I just ran across it: Case Study: Project Studio Design & Build with Mitch Gallagher - Sweetwater Sound - YouTube Now I know there are "holes" in his design to the pros here. But what struck me as very helpful is the decision...

iTunes has its own eq? Oh... We're so doomed...

This is bringing tears to my eyes... :( Isn't "refinishing" a guitar a crime against humanity???
