Check out the following links. Both of these will provide you with some low-mid frequency abosorption. John's designs are slightly more sophisticated since they use slat-resonator type designs which will aslo give you some diffusion. I'm considering using a combination of both in my studio...

Here's a link to the thread where the subject originally came up. https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?threadid=59511 Alex

Fitz, My understanding of the whole RC channel construction is you're trying to decouple the drywall from the timber frame so that sound wave-induced vibrations of the drywall aren't transmitted through the studs to another facing material which in turn vibrates and transmits the sound. That...

Coupla' thoughts. The size of your drum kit looks maybe a little optimistic. If you've got a friend with a kit set up try taping it out and see. I'd be interested to know as well. If it's realisitic your room looks feasible to me. I'd consider getting rid of the french door and putting in a...

Sounds cool. I've sent an e-mail to the folks at Living Green so I'll try and find out if they can sell it to home recc'er. Thanks for your help! Alex

I'd be interested in the info on the recycled tire flooring. Tried to e-mail you but apparently you've selected not to receive e-mails through the forum. Go ahead and post the info if you've got it. Thanks, Alex

Check out this link: http://www.saecollege.de/reference_material/index.html There are plans there for a garage studio (20' x 20'). Also a lot of great information on general building, construction, and sound treatment. Alex

They'd probably work fine as a diffusor. Basically anyting that breaks up a flat wall surface will give you some diffusion. They won't do much for absorbing any sound. If you need both you're better off building helmholtz style resonator panels which will give you both (diffusion and...

Don't know for sure but I'd guess not. You'd get some absorption from the fiberglass but no bass-trapping resonance. The principle behind an absorber is the sealed air space which resonates. Your roll of insulation won't create a sealed space and therefore won't resonate and trap any bass...

Probably no white paper since it's going to be site specific. The critical factor is what you're hanging them from, and that will vary by location. Do you have any friends who are structural engineers? You might be better off building a custom frame or getting some speaker stands. Alex

Here's a picture of part of the front. It also has a meter bridge. Thanks for everyone's input. Alex

Does anyone recognize this type of mixer? Interface Electronics? Is this just a hack one-off from somewhere or could there be some decent history behind it? Let me know. Alex

No link--I've just cut and pasted things I've found interesting and saved them onto my computer. Most of the stuff came from here originally or was linked from here. A lot of the files are saved as MS Word documents since that's an easy thing for me to paste into--can't re-upload these here...

Anyone have any experience or comments--good, bad, indifferent--about the the White Instruments 4001 EQ unit? I'm looking for an EQ unit to place in the signal chain of our live setup. The EQ available on the old Mackie CR-1604 just isn't cutting it. Thanks, Alex

Bump.

You've got a couple of options. Your concrete embed idea would certainly work but might be overkill since you'd probably need to run it all in conduit. If you're concernted about the wall plate penetrations, consider running everything in a surface mounted duct system. These can be fairly...

Carpet will cut the highs, deadening the overall sound. It's liable to leave your low end muddy though. The egg shell stuff won't do much at all (try a search on that topic on this site). In any case, the lowest budget approach is to build your own sound absorption panels. The easiest of...

Check out industrial construction supply houses. You should probably be able to find a material supplier who specializes in drywall--they will most likely carry it. The stuff is pretty common. The best price I found was about $1.20 a 12-ft stick. Check around. Alex

Your options are endless. Do you have a budget? For portability there are several all-in-one hard disc recorders available that are rack or console mountable. In most cases you can record multiple tracks on one of these and then export them as .wav files or other format that can be uploaded...

I think some of the above are on the right track. The camie looking stuff was probably burlap. It may likely have been shielding some type of exposed insulation--fiberglass or minerwool. Either of these will suck up the highs leading to a very dead sound. The deadness is there since the...
