We are pushing 100 on the temps still, rough weekend to be outside. Hope your project continues to move along.

All the sheet rock is finally up, first bass trap complete. We will spend a few more hours down there today.

I am coming to visit when you are done. My dream has always been to build a room with non-parallel walls tuned for audio reproduction.

I have done it for about a dozen mixing rooms where cost was no object (relatively speaking). But never for a home system where the ergonomics are different.

I was serious about the cavity behind the gear rack being a good place for bass absorption. Just find a way to fill as much of that area back there with hanging fiberglass (the most effective bass trap solution) and you'd get better sound. Then, after that, the area behind the outcrop on the front stage would be great.

All 4 bass traps are done.

Outlets and switches are in.

90% of the ceiling is complete with Ultra Touch Denim 5.5" insulation.

Getting closer and closer....................................

Are you comparing the impact of the treatments? Best way is to clap your hands.

I guess now that most of the drywall is up that'd make sense but how would that help before?

 

[heeman]

Clapping and Yelling.

I once did a clap test. Luckily it came out negative.
