I'd like to get something on the cieling in my tracking room. My studio is in an aluminum shed, concrete foor, the walls are nothing but sheetmetal and steel beams.
It sounds... LIVE! heh...
I have a pressboard wall structure, and a ping pong table turned on it's side- those are my "walls" above and around them I hung blankets and certains... did a decent job on cutting back on the tinny 'verb. I took all that down today and can hear a difference. I'm going to work out some proper temporary walls, cloth covered insulation and dry-wall and all that. Hopefully easily moveable.
But for the cieling I'm not sure the best way to go. Eventually I'll be building real walls and a real cieling in here (maybe years from now) but for now I'm looking for tempory, reasonably cheap, and reuseable solutions.
I'm thinking two general ideas... I could build a grid onto the beams that are on the cieling, and roll insulation over it, and cover that with cloth. That would give me a decent amount of absoption I'd think. I don't need to block sound escaping, I just want to cut the refletions between concrete and aluminum. Or I could go with more of a diffusion idea. I've seen cielings where there is fiberglass wrapped in cloth, cut in small rectangles, then hung forming a grid. Could I use insulation instead of fibregalss inside the cloth? Do you know the kind of treatment I'm talking about?
Really what I should do is spray insulate the whole building. There is another shop next to this one that was insulated with what was basically glue and old newspaper... that room is super dead though. If I did that I'd want to make reflective walls! My movable walls will be a two sided deal, so I'm covered there. I'm not sure If I would be allowed to do that at this point to the building. I need to discuss the "terms" of my "lease" with my uncle!
