Dude, much as I like your enthusiasm, I can't help but feel you just want to make some shit for the sake of it.

Making your own recoil stabilizers is not a great idea. They use a very specific balance of materials and design to achieve the desired results. They different models for each weight bracket and size and it's a very precise science.

Buy a bunch of foam and rubber and metal plates, then spending all that time making the things - to be honest, even if you pay yourself $10 per hour, you'll probably end up cheaper just buying the recoil stabilizers all said and done - and that's assuming your home made version actually work and don't make the situation worse.

Don't get me wrong, I love making shit (I've done guides on making window plugs and speaker stands etc) but sometimes you have to choose what's worth making and what isn't.

Again, you're getting yourself all concerned with what rockwool to buy for your panels and you don't even know where your speakers are going to be located in your room and what panels you'll need (if any).

I don't mean to piss on your parade but I think this is more about wanting to play with your hammer than your music equipment.

Without wanting to be harsh, it's not like your equipment really warrants masses of treatment - your setup is only as good as the weakest link in your chain - you're using a $150 entry level soundcard and $400 speakers as your monitoring chain. It's not about money as well - some budget equipment can be great but in the grand scheme of things, it really kinda doesn't make sense to spend a bunch of money and time on treating your room trying to make entry level gear sound as good as it can.

Bear in mind that all this treatment your planning may well be rendered entirely useless when you get better monitors (as different monitors have different specs) or if you move to a better room.

dual subwoofer to use interference patterns to create a sweet spot in an otherwise impossible situation. and also to annoy rann.

Oh my god. Please don't tell me you actually now have two subs?

i do. go ask an acoustician what he would do if there was a null and the room was well, it isn't a progressional studio and it can't gbe changed, his answer will be ........ use 2 subwooofers. There is a reason for it, it isn't recommended because people have trouble setting up their mail account but i'm kinda reality really fucking smart. so for me, the calibration is no issue and i benefit from basic physics.

but honestly i just mentioned it to piss you off. I don't really use them until the very last pass.

I know you do it to annoy me but you're quite possibly the only person that has the knowledge to do this and not fuck it up.

Having said that, I am technically a qualified Acoustician and used to run my own studio design consultancy. So I asked myself and I said you're still wrong Seriously, though, I get it when there is a null that you can't do anything about, but then now that you're flush, I don't get why you haven't moved to LA and become the fuhrer's bitch yet? We could do coke in the 1oak bathrooms and get in fights with some Persians. You could learn to talk like Tommy Lee.

What are you waiting for?
