Even making the room smaller if larger isn't possible.

There's a studio in my area which is located in an old auto repair garage. They used to be located in a shop premises. I'd say just anywhere big enough that you can gain permission from the landlord AND council. I've had the same plan, but my home studio isn't making nearly enough for a...

Does it really have to be 6 MONTHS though? I've never seen a banning that long on a forum! How the hell did YOU become a mod?

Still bad, imo. I don't know anyone who contributes as much as FitZ to studio building & display. You've lost me as well, I also contribute quite a lot, for as long as you've banned FitZ. Would you please ban me too (until FitZ is allowed back). You only banned him once he started flaming you...

That is not good acoustically. You are far better "firing" down the long dimension.

That better not be serious?! If it is, you can say goodbye to me too. :mad:

A lot of clothes provide a decent amount of absorption.

I'd set up facing the window. Also, if you have clothes in the closet, you should leave the closet doors open to gain some rear room absorption. I'd also add at least 4" bass traps in the corners and at the door, and 2" in the first reflection points. A 2" panel in the ceiling FRP would be good...

How did you make the mini QRDs?

Brilliant! How well do they work and how hard were they to build? :D

That's really got me thinking and researching. I've found something called a diffractal QRD which seems interesting:

I understand this about carpet, but the argument was that cork offers more absorption than wood; carpet offers more than cork. This isn't really of much benefit however, because it is far to thin to affect anything other the higher frequencies.

FitZ, I think that YOU should write a book on acoustics! Include all the opinions you can, that you have gathered over the years, and then give your own opinions based on the evidences presented. I would certainly buy it! I think your the go-to guy for any kind of acoustic question on this...

Would there be much benefit to this over actually "isolating" the space with a stud wall?

It's not an absorber; more of a curved deflector. A gobo version of what Ethan describes in his acoustic faq, 'Diffusors and Absorbers'.

I think you should use the 4'x4' panel behind your monitors as a cloud and move the clouds you are using now to directly behind each monitor. Then make a 6'x4' gobo panel for the back wall. I also feel the your side wall absorbers aren't quite in the FRP and are therefore less effective than...

I don't think anyone is suggesting this. You could probably pin a fabric wrapped 703 panel to the ceiling causing basically no damage.

Yeah. I have suggested he centre his TV along the wall and place the speakers to each side. This means he could listen to the TV over the studio monitors (unless the CRT causes problems) and cause less living problems.

Maybe if you spent some time educating yourself on room acoustics it wouldn't go over your head and you'd gain far better results.

I am, but Weasel9992 isn't and has his own acoustics company... ;)
