    inexpensive bass trap alternative

    okay, so i guess screw the roxul they got at ats acoustics, but here is the ?, can i take one of these 4 foot by 2 foot by 2inch panels and cut it down into thirds and make a 2 foot x 1.3 foot x 6 inch panel, the site you linked says i need 6" thickness of 3lbs/cubic foot of CO 703 and that...

    mic levels, background noise

    sorry, maybe one last poke here, if i have my beat/instrument track at 0, and i am recording my vocal track at -12db, how the heck can you hear what you are singing or in my case "spitting" over the other track, i can change my headphone mix more to the input rather than playback but that still...

    mic levels, background noise

    when you are talking tracking levels, please clarify, cuz i must be misunderstanding, how can you even tell what you are recording at that level, if i have my track and the meter is showing -18db to -12db, then i have to crank my devices output full blast to hear anything on my headphones, i...

    mic levels, background noise

    i have a MXL V63M, and M-Audio Fast Track Pro i have recorded tracks before and just dealt with the noise, but what i normally do, using sonar, is i import my beat, i do hip hop, and i set the levels so that they are as loud as it goes without clipping, so around 0db, and i record my vocals on...

    inexpensive bass trap alternative

    okay but i don't see how this helps the bass problem, are you implying that a trap such as this behind the mic will reduce the low frequency buildup i'm experiencing, i can probably mount something this small on the wall behind the mic, alright, this might be a stretch, but just for...

    Mic Preamp, why??

    i was actually looking into a preamp with digital outs cuz the FastTrack Pro has digital coaxial ins and outs, but other than that, i can't bypass the FastTrack's pre's, unless of course i try the insert jack, but i don't see that working too well, i may try though i'm not picking up anything...

    inexpensive bass trap alternative

    thanks for the reply, yeah, i actually saw that ATSAcoustics site, i was looking at the Roxul AFB, it's nice they sell in single pieces, taht was the main dealbreaker in buying rigid fiberglass or whatever cuz the bulk pricing, when i only needed a small amount, here's the deal though: i don't...

    inexpensive bass trap alternative

    well you and your pal rick can come over to my house, you can lay down a vocal or whatever, and you tell me that there isn't an abundance of bass build up, you can even take a look at the spectrum analysis and see the large "hill", as it were, at around 125hz, I get results eq'ing that...

    mic levels, background noise

    what do you mean by losing headroom, anything below -12 in sonar is hardly audible, i have got to be missing something very fundamental

    mic levels, background noise

    if i have the input at -12db when i record, Sonar doesn't even hardly register it, i can have it turned down to the point where i hear no noise, and then do my verse and the levels won't quite hit 0db, if i turn up the gain on the Fast Track Pro a little till i hear more noise, i can record at...

    Mic Preamp, why??

    I just bought a Studio Projects VTB-1 mic preamp thinking it would help allow me to lower my gain levels on my Fast Track Pro and still get a loud enough signal without picking up tons of background "static", i plugged this sucker in, and it's pretty much the same deal, if it is low enough to...

    mic levels, background noise

    it seems like the only way i can get my levels up to around 0db when recording vocals is by turning it up to the point where it records a lot of static too, what am i doing wrong

    inexpensive bass trap alternative

    anybody who knows shit, will tell you bass trapping in a 3x5 foot room is quite necessary regardless if it's speech frequencies, i'm a fucking man, you would be surprised how deep a man's voice gets, pull that rubberband off your nuts and you might realize that, you get too much low frequency...

    inexpensive bass trap alternative

    that's what I was asking, are you stupid, you honestly think that there is nothing else out there in the world that absorbs low frequencies than rigid fiberglass, you are quite naive

    inexpensive bass trap alternative

    okay, i was referring strictly to DIY, if i didn't want to spend on that, i surely aint spending on commercial products, okay, so i found something that is cheap enough and seems to be pretty good atsacoustics.com/item--Roxul-AFB-Mineral-Wool-2-inch-Case-of-6--1006.htm[/url] so now, i will...

    inexpensive bass trap alternative

    if that is the cheap alternative than what is the standard??? i didn't choose that closet cuz it is nice and cozy, i chose it cuz it is in my basement and by far the most quiet place in the house, i have loud ass ducts, and pretty heavy traffic nearby, my basement closet is surrounded in...

    inexpensive bass trap alternative

    i'm not spending 100 dollars for a bunch of rigid fiberglass when all i need is bass trapping for a small closet i'm recording hip hop vocals in. I don''t have room in there for a 2 foot by 4 foot panel, everyone says the same thing, OC 705 for bass traps, make monster panel, yeah, does anyone...
