you should begin your venture in acoustic treatment with playing pink noise in your area, and then, walking around the room looking for where standing waves, fluttering echos and such are located. you make a well detailed plan of your room, start off with high frequencies and work your way down to lows. bass traps are easy to make, a fraction of the price that realtraps cost, same with absorption foam. i'll post links later that provide a good guide for where to start with acoustic treatment and even building it yourself without purchasing overpriced shit like auralex |
Ouf of curiousity, what would we be looking for when we're looking for standing waves and fluttering echoes?
You can build most of this stuff with some rockwool and some frames right? I need to do something about my guitar amp, its in a corner between my wardrobe and (brick) wall, and its just pure mud. I'm wondering if I threw a bass trap behind it if it'd cut back some of the bass reflections I'm getting around the 100-200 hz mark.
I think TA needs a tutorial on acoustic treatment actually...
