Thourght this may be a useful thread for not only myself but a few people who want to delve into acoustic treatment.

Its well enough knowing about bass traps, diffusers etc. How different matrials absorp different frequencies and by how much.

But how does one go about making the most out of their treatment?

Taking into acount that many of us (including myself) neither have the best mixing position nor the best room for mixing, and alot of us do both recording and mixing in the same space.

What can we/I do to make the most of the treatment we can use? My own situation is that my mixing position is alot better than what it used to be, although no where near perfect. I now have some new KRK rp6 g2's opposed to my old Fostex PM 0.4's which have made a HUGE difference.
I want to keep my treatment minimal, as my studio is not only a work space but a personal space.
How can I/we go about finding the problem areas in our own rooms?
Then knowing how to treat those areas? and knowing how to make the most ot of limeted recourses?
 
Use the search feature...this topic and derivatives of it have been covered countless times.
 
maybe grabbing one of the better posts and stickying it would be helpful. I have been searching, and will continue to do so until I have my questions straight, but maybe a simple easy to understand FAQ sorta sticky would be nice!

What I would love to see for a sticky is something that says, 1) this is the most important so do it first, 2) after that this is... sorta a priorities list. I know 'every room is different' but there are some general tips that are best to start with.

That's exactly what my Acoustics Basics article above is for. :D

haha thanks, you know, I clicked on it to read it, then got distracted and came back to the computer and started typing before I read it. Thanks a lot. I'll pour over that, then probably come back with some stupid questions, then spend a couple weeks building traps!
