That is indeed YOUR problem. Precisely no one on this entire thread has done what you're describing here. Go "put up the styrofoam" where? What styrofoam? I have not ignored any "actual facts", I just honestly don't understand roughly 50% of what your replies are about. You're answering stuff...

The situation where an EPS sheet seemed to work as "treatment", although it's impossible to tell whether as a reflector or absorber (pure guess: both), was in a hard walled cavity holding the sound source. Aka echo chamber. As it was, it was difficult to understand speech, for example, as the...

Miroslav... there's no need whatsoever to be so spiteful. By "my logic"? What are you referring to? What I said boils down to: Just because "no one" does something, does not mean it does not or CAN not work. Similarly, there is absolutely no guarantee that if there's something already existing...

Guys, just quickly to clear the possible misunderstanding: when I said "I don't care", that needs to be taken in context. I'm not planning on actually building anything like I described, like I said the question was purely scientific. I'm not sure that logic is completely valid. One of the...

EDIT: VERY IMPORTANT: NO ONE, AND I MEAN ABSOLUTELY NO ONE IN THIS THREAD HAS SAID YOU SHOULD USE POLYSTYRENE PRODUCTS FOR ANYTHING. PLEASE DO NOT "line your studio walls" WITH POLYSTYRENE. IN CASE IT IGNITES, THE BURNING FUMES PRODUCED ARE TOXIC. YOU COULD DIE. Thank you. --- Hi. Don't be...

Interesting! Not a study, but something closer to the original point (yes indeed). It's good to be reminded of how the math for this sort of thing works. I realized now more directly that something further to consider is of course the relevance of only being able to tell the difference. Like...

That is an interesting point. In the past it was often not possible (equipment and/or media prohibitely expensive) to get anything even close to "the source". These days it's very possible, but still might not be practical enough for most people. It's also interesting to think that "the same"...

With respect, I think he was just purely trolling. I got suspicious the second he made that outlandish claim about "everyone being able to do everything" and then further, never once even trying to present any kind of evidence. If ANYTHING he was talking about was common knowledge in any...

I was wondering whether he was trying to make some "elaborate point" with all that nonsense... how did that happen? That sounds sensible for a change.

This "floating" thing is actually something I've been wondering about, even if it's was just a single layer wall. Or even a support beam. I can't remember where it was, but in an article or post somewhere someone was building a vocal booth in the corner of a room and the plan seemed to indicate...

I have learned many, many skills that I initially thought I was "just bad at" and couldn't possibly do it. I've been able to surprise myself. I believe many things ARE purely about perseverance and most people can do it if they really try. But some aren't. Does dyslexia not exist? Can EVERYONE...

Finally something we can completely agree on. So, that's sorted now. Carry on.

How low does that screwdriver go though? ;) I've done more measuring at my own place, which is a pretty typical garage -- luckily built with brick walls. Up close, an acoustic kick drum will give you over 125 dB SPL in the face and most of that is under 250 Hz. The brick wall does a pretty good...

Hey, are you any closer to figuring out what's going on in my head?

Me neither, but there have been plenty of both! "Don't matter" seems to be pretty much what it is. I'm really in the "looking for a pretty picture" camp myself. Oddly, that's what makes this all make sense to me. Visual info? Indeed. Remember the track I mentioned, the one I sent to my...

Believe it or not, I have nothing against you being right about what you said. I'm just not 100% sure you are. Why the attitude?

Hear hear. (although I know exactly zero Justin Bieber songs so who am I to criticize him... I get the point)

I was about to post that a while back, I did some online test that told me I have a very good ear for frequency aka pitch (basically an endless "which frequency is higher/lower" followed by a beep. Maybe someone knows how to find it?) . Now assuming THAT is true, I don't know how that would...

I honestly don't know what you mean. Questions without purpose? If I asked you "do you like milk in your coffee?"... would you start thinking what is the purpose of this question instead of answering it? I really, really don't know what you mean. Just because it's vague at first (to be quick)...

I had a notebook that was running one of the newer versions of Windows, everything HORRIBLY slow. It wouldn't have crossed most peoples mind to even try a lot of stuff on that machine. I installed one of the more lightweight variants of Ubuntu on it, and in fact it was capable of playing back at...
