I have no experience with the auralex bass traps, although I have some of their foam panels, but I was blown away by the DIY tube traps in my studio. They are pretty easy to make. I've got six of them. No doubt, the Auralex looks good and would probably sound just fine. If you go that route...

If you're just using the room for rehearsing, I think you'd want it to remain somewhat live sounding. The idea is to absorb some of the sound without killing the vibe of the room. Too much absorbtion and the band won't won't hear each other that well and your instruments will sound lifeless...

Do an internet search for "knauf" and track down a local dealer. The stuff is called pipe insulation, and if I remember correctly, 3' sections sell for 20-30$ each in USD, depending on the diameter.

Dug this out of that website concernng the materials in these panels: "In making these panels, we made a material change in the internal parts of the panels. These changes were not tested but the test data from the manufacturer of the fiberous materials indicated that we were working with a...

Beezo and John, thanks for chiming in.. we spend so much time here talking about specific solutions that we forget to talk about the bigger picture of what end results we're hoping for. Totally agree with the tight and bright theory. Personally, I want a tracking room that the drum overheads...

there's some cool concepts to be learned from this guys website about room acoustics.. I would guess there's some fiberboard being used in there. And judging by the limited "in progress" pictures on the link.. the backs are particle board or plywood, the sides look solid too, so that begs...

I visited a friends studio this week. the guy has spent bucks and has some nice equipment in his three room space which consists of tracking room (maybe 15'x15' with 9' ceilings) a smaller control room- 9 x 10 and a small live amp room/ hallway- 8x8. It is beautifully finished and has central...

Yes Darrin, some more info when you find it... And speaking of DIY diffusers.. I found a canadian acoustic designer that builds panels using sonor tubes inside a box frame. Looks like they are cut into maybe 1/3 rounds. Here's a link to pictures of them ( the panel are about half way down the...

By the looks of things, I don't think the back wall is causing much, if any, of the flutter echo, as it takes 2 parallel walls to make it flutter ( Flutter= multiple repeats- like a cue ball bouncing back and forth between bumpers) Assuming the floor is carpeted you're not getting a floor to...

Yeah, you got a flutter echo problem there. It's caused by parallel walls. The sound just bounces back and forth between them. With those front wall baffles you put up i wouldn't have thought you'd have this problem, but you do. So, what does the rest of the room look like in terms of walls and...

garg, you're right about noise. I sometimes use the enhancer in my meekbox to hone in on and reduce the noise the unit itself generates!!! Love the sound though...

Try using candles. adds ambiance and no rattles... (sorry couldn't resist) Are the flood lights in those outdoor type fixtures? I have one outside my house and I seem to remember that the ceramic bases are pretty loose inside the fixtures. Maybe you oughta just rewire the fixture with a...

So, are you running the usual stuff like a refrigerator, dryer and stove too, or do you use gas for that? Any solar heating or hot water? Man, what a cool set up! you've got. I seem to remeber you just moved in recently, did you convert it yourself or was it all set up? Sorry for all the...

John Have you got any solar links you could post about the type of system you use? Hate those power bills!

Larrye. Nice looking space! Before you start treating the ceiling, I guess the question is: how does it sound in the room, and what acoustic problem are you hoping to cure by putting up ceiling panels? To me, It looks like you've already got quite a bit of absorbtion from the carpet on front...

the design looks really cool to me, although I wondered if the layout is as functional as it looks... Those corner control rooms look like they are small spaces, and may need a batch of acoustic treatment to make sound good. It seems like a 50x40 facility Should have some larger spaces than...

Elevate, Go to the end of this thread below, there is some info I've posted in the past about fiberboard insulation. In short, HD does not carry it https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?threadid=40101&highlight=knauf

Lagging! Now there's a word for the homerec glossary! Axehead, you know you've got lagging when you've put it up yourself, as in this case it seems the guy bolted some foam or thick fabric to the walls of his studio to reduce the wall reflections. As for bass hump- he's refering to an...

And the best part about using MDF is that unlike plywood or pine board, MDF cuts and stays straight and true. makes for nice lines.
