Someone on craigslist is giving away two of these bookshelves and I was thinking of picking them up and turning them into abortion panels to either hang on the wall or to use as gobos depending on how heavy they are. Could I get away with stuffing them with R-19? What do you guys think, good idea, bad idea?
 
You could fill them with different size books and use them as a defuser.

Book shelves in recording room??

actually that brings up a good question. I have book shelves that basically line up an entire side of my room as well as the back wall furthest from my recording equipment. these book shelves are all full of books, Do bookshelves full of books reflect sound as if it was juat a wall, or does it absorb sound? Do the book shelves and books help or hinder the sound in a room? I guess I should see if I can make some panels that just fit into the upper shelves in front of the books. Let me know how your book shelf panels turn out and what you used as a filler.
 
bookshelf s work!

hi,, about two years ago i had four 1x2m bookshelves made to use as "mixing" partitions for my home studio,, they were built specifically for this purpose and therefore were made air"tight", we then packed them with rigid fiberglass and covered the cavities with fabric, placing them around the mixing poisition of my studio we created a nice "dead end" to the room for mixing,, check out the diagram for a better idea of what they are and how they work in the set-up : i recorded my demo in this studio and used it to get funding for a full length album thats in the making as we speak!
now the wife andi are of overseas to bigger and brighter musical projects and i need to find anew home for my partitions, if anyones interested in them give me a bell at trigramstudios@gmail.com cheeeers...
