Well, that's good to know. I'm also acutely aware of the need for good room treatment, which is the project I'm working on now. Thus far I've got my bass trapping handled and pretty much set up my RFZ, but I still need to treat my back wall and some of the side walls. Not to be disrepectful to...

And this too, even though it covers some of the same ground. http://www.realtraps.com/art_monitor.htm

Hi everybody. I haven't been in this forum much yet and I was wondering if anyone other than me uses Event monitors. Myself, I got mine on clearance from the local GC. They're the passive Event 20/20's and they were on clearance because the 20/20v2 had just come out. They were usually $300 for...

I'm just using .010's right now, but I'm thinking of going to a thicker low B. It's just a .056 now, I might go to a .058 or .060. Oh, and I use an .018 wound G. I hate unwound G's, I think they sound terrible. With the extended scale of the Blackjack, I don't really see the need for using...

I'll put in another vote for Carvin. I built one of their bolt kits a few years back and it was the nicest six string I've had. (I play sevens now.) The Carvin bolt is basically a Strat copy except for a few things: ebony fretboard (I LOVE ebony, but you can get maple or rosewood if you...

I know, but "Schecter makes great stuff" is much easier to type than "Schecter designs great stuff which is then outsourced overseas to the Samick factory in Korea to be produced". The Schecter Custom Shop is all US made, but all the Diamond series production models are made in Korea. My 007...

Just to butt in, I also have a side window in my room, and I too am curious about how to handle it from an acoustic standpoint.

Okay, so what do you want to know? Are you going to be recording and mixing in this room, or just recording and then mixing elsewhere? If you're asking about acoustic treatment, I'd start with bass traps in as many of the corners as you can manage. Pretty much all rooms need bass trapping. While...

Rock on, let us know how it turns out. :cool:

Yeah, try stacking the fluffy bales in as many of the room corners as you can, and stack them all the way to the ceiling. The low end tends to build up in the corners most, and the trihedral corners are the worst (trihedral meaning where three surfaces meet, like two walls and the ceiling or two...

Well yeah, pretty much, except in figure 5 (and I don't know if this was deliberate or not) it appears that the panels stop short of the roof, which you wouldn't want to do. You'd want them to go all the way to the ceiling to cover that trihedral corner. So yeah, like figure 5 basically, except...

The thing is that rigid fiberglass is much more dense that the fluffy stuff, so you'd need to use more of it to get the same results. I seem to recall Ethan saying in his Acoustics FAQ that one or two inches (can't remember which) of rigid fiberglass would work about the same as a foot thick of...

Wow, that's wild that you were responsible for a lot of the Acoustic amps. For about ten years I had an Acoustic bass setup that was the most amazing thing I've ever used. I don't remember the exact model or even if it had a model name, but it was a 400 watt bass head, two independent channels...

Huh, you'll then have pretty much the same set up as me. I have the 007 Blackjack (same as the C-7 except for the body shape, not released in the states yet, I may have the only one in the country) and a PODxt. Man, does it sound great. The Blackjack series are an amazing value. Grover tuners...

Almost, but while it should straddle the corner like that, it should hang straight down and not start out far at the top and then angle back in as in Figure 1. There's no benefit to angling it like that, in fact you lose some low end absorption because you're reducing the air space behind the...

This guy's right, rigid fiberglass is the best bang for the buck by far for acoustic absorption. Just get some 2" fiberglass, wrap it in fabric, and hang it on the walls, it'll perform better than foam. It's hard to see by the picture, but my electronic drum set uses a 14" snare in a stand that...

No, like this. The one on the top. Mine are covered in plastic, but fabric would be better. Actually, I believe it would be better to turn them on end and have them cover more corner. See what I mean now?
