    Sound Absorption... HELP?

    Yeah, I know. If he treats the room the drums his neighbors hear won't be as loud and will sound better, lol. But, yeah, it's hard to isolate it. We can hear our neighbors drum and we're in separate houses.

    I was watching them this morning. Took them about an hour to get a bolt unstuck. They are very careful.

    Everything you mention should make the guitar more playable. Did the guy restring it with heavier strings?

    Sound Absorption... HELP?

    If you have a source of given sound power in a reverberant room, the sound pressure level will be higher than the same source in an absorbant room. The transmission out of the room is a function of the sound pressure level, so adding absorption will have a marginal helpful effect on what gets...

    Space Shuttle Hubble

    I've been told that if you have a mic that can hear around 1 Hz or so you can catch the sound purt near anywhere on the planet several times.

    The Importance Of Baffles

    Well, you'd be more likely to hear it than see it, lol. Yeah, the change was startling for me. Best $150 I spent on anything recording or music related.

    I think you're pretty much on track. I would not seal the back of the bass traps you have.

    Question on Temporary Set Up

    I rent, so I'm in the same boat. I made my panels without frames, just wrapped the OC 703 in fabric kinda like a Christmas present, tacking the fabric with hot glue. The panels are light enought that I can put them up with push pins. Here's a slideshow. And there's nothing wrong with one big...

    Tuning issues when using the tremolo slightly

    Static friction is greater than sliding friction. Basically that means that it takes more force to get something moving than to keep it moving. You're finding that threshold with your whammy. However, a little lube will likely fix it. Just a drop of light oil or a little graphite on each of...

    Would they extend that argument to say that Floyd and other locking nuts effectively eliminate any possibility of sustain?

    Guitar Setup Question - Valid unexpected modification?

    What Light said. The second guy probably raised the action enough to clear the fret above the dent. That would dramatically alter the feel of the guitar. The feel is not really affected by the nut shape, but the not slots do need to be the right depth relative to the fret tops. You probably...
