Bring it on! We'll see how greasy we're feeling. I am striving for speed, but a great design is always hard to resist.Tonio wrote: HC, I found an outstanding modular broadband/reflective design I had in my book marks, unfortunately not on my home puter. I'll send you the link tomorrow. You may have seen it before, but it would be great if you have the time and tools. Alot- o elbow grease though.
My plan right now is slat resonators/diffusors on control room sidewalls and possibly the front wall, too, constructed as false walls/panels and skewed from square to avoid flutter. The bass trap you noted in the back corner will be packed with fiberglass, and I expect to liberally use glass in all four corners of the room, behind the resonators, as additional trapping. If necessary, additional deep fiberglass can go high on the back wall near the ceiling, above the bookshelf that will serve as my poor man's diffusion. One big question is slat panel finishing: Do I stain and clear coat or just wrap everything in cloth and be done with it? I love the look of wood, but am ready to retire from carpentry and return to making music.
Floor will be wood or laminate, with broadband absorbers floating above. I plan to do at least a fair amount of surround, so am aiming for limited, but balanced, reverberation. The big room, which will be refined only after the control room is happening, will be very lively. The office/iso room (10-11.5 x 8.5 x 13) will be very dry 'cause I think it is too small to develop pleasant sounding reverberation.
Anybody have plans for those cool "skyline" style diffusors made from wood like they have at Skywalker Sound? (see last month's MIX mag.) I could figure out well diffusor calculations, but never grocked the skyline number theory. It would be fun to make some panels like that, maybe for gobos, like at Skywalker. And they look so very swell.
Did I say I was ready t retire from carpentry?
