I am turning an old garage into a little studio space. The space is probably about 25 x 15 with a gable ceiling.
Right now the room is far too wet, so I am considering different options for broadband room treatment. I know, of course, of the use of rigid fiberglass insulation for this purpose. I have also heard of the use of regular "fluffy" insulation (in rolls, in the corner).
Since the garage is uninsulated right now, I thought that maybe I could: insulate the room like normal, but rather than covering the insulation with poly, cover it with a fire-retardant cloth. This way I will both insulate the room and (maybe) acoustically treat it.
Would this be comparable, in terms of broadband absorption, to the use of 703/705? I have been in rooms with bare insulation before, and they are very, very dead in the highs and mids, but would the lows be sufficiently absorbed? (I suppose, if not, they would more than likely just to escape the garage altogether).
Thoughts?
