I have read several articles about treating the studio for proper acoustics, and it confuses the hell out of me. Just when I think I have a plan, I read another article that turns my brain to mush.

This pertains mostly to monitoring and mixing as opposed to tracking...

does anyone know what material can be used as a substitute for auralex SheetBlok material. I know that there is a substitute, but I am not sure what it is called.

I am looking at purchasing some bass traps for my control room and performance room. There are many companies who make them - which ones are better and less expensive?

Hey, I'd seen this site on the net and decided I'd try and build 'em (see links below). It took my wife and I a day to build two 6'X14" traps. I can hardly believe how much of a difference it has made in the sound of my booth... it has just sucked out the mud. I pulled the trap out a couple of times just to check it out... man, what a difference. And the best part...

I don't know if this is the right forum to discuss this, but it has to do with studio design, and in particular, decorating!

Hello.

Folks,

Have you had luck with self-made tubetraps or such?
(or maybe luck does not play a role in it ;) )

I am planning to treat a small pre-production room acustically. I pretty well know the methods for taming bass-frequency modes, early reflections and using diffusors.

Ok, this is Waaaaay off...maybe. Instead of floating a whole floor on Auralex U-Boats, can I use something else rubber? Like...well, hockey pucks seem too hard and would transfer vibrations I assume. (This isn't for a whole floor, just maybe a platform for amps or. .whatever. Point is, this is theoretical as of now). How would old TIRES work?

I just located some 701 fiberglass for sound control.

They also have the rigid tubes of fiberglass- 10"- $2.54/L.F. and 14"- $3.35/L.F. (like an ASC Tube Trap) Easy to make your own traps and treatments.

I just located some 701 fiberglass for sound control. Cost- about $1.60 for a 2'x4'x1.5" piece. As far as I know, thats a great price. BUT: He'll only sell it in a pack of 30 :eek: . Way too much for my needs. Anyone around CLEVELAND (200 mile radius) want to split it with me?
