lets talk about some soundproofing
my dudes.
what are you guys using to dampen sounds in your space. I have some budget ideas.
what about bookshelves filled with insulation? people are throwing out bookshelves all the time. yay or nay?
best budget bass trap? any resources for actual measurements for requirements of bass trapping dimensions? I loosely heard 8 inch thick at the least.
I dont really care for foam.
I have an issue with my room, the bass is pooling mid to far field.
yea I noticed the sound got much worse as I took everything out.
I dont want to build panels, im too lazy for that, stuffing bookshelf with rockwool and stapling fabric seems much easier, and get more density.
but will it do anything for 50-120hz?
+ rockwool in each compartment and wrapped with fabric placed in each corner?
or am I wasting my time here.
I have a 14 x 10 room.
right now jbl 305. but planning on adam audio a7v after I fix my room. or I dont know, the bass is already overwhelming on these 5 inchers. not sure. maybe the front port will help but, since bass radiates im not sure how much.
Soundproofing or sound treatment, as they're very different things.
Sound proofing implies that you want to prevent bass frequencies travelling to other rooms, and there's next to nothing you can do about that without extensive and costly building works.
Treating the room for bass build up is another matter. Bookshelves and furniture will help to scatter/absorb higher frequencies, but you need mass to absorb low frequencies. Bass traps are the answer.
If you don't want to buy bass traps, it's probably best to have a look on Youtube for DIY solutions using off the shelf insulation materials.

Originally posted by Zak McKracken The JBLs should be fine if positioned properly but I assume they are placed on a desk and close to the wall, which would result in 100Hz boom like with every small monitor this is their problem. The A7 might be better, at least it has some more adjustments for desk notch but in both cases a sub might help you more. The JBL have some eq have you tried that? What about some stands? It might be the desk causing most of your issues. Can you pull the desk 1m out from the wall? |

yea you right. I will fill my corners with rockwool safe n sound with those bookshelfs at some point.

from what I loosely gather this density is recommended.
I dont think I have much of a chance with bass. I suppose DSP is an option.
I mix in mono using a Reftone LD-38 REF CUBE and Stereo headphones Sennheiser hd650 for mixing.
I also have Yamaha hs-80m going to get a krk sub just for fun and check to see how it sounds not for real mixing because I have no room treatment or sound proofing.
Do I need room treatment or sound proofing just for just a small specker like a reftone / auratone?
Room treatment or sound proofing my next step, I guess in my 10 x 10 bedroom studio.

sup evo, nice to see u.
I kind of gave up on the sound treatment, trying to find some headphones I can jive with, but Im struggling hard to get back on track, not sure if its going to happen at this point. my processing chains are so whack that nothing sounds good nor can I hear the truth.
Thought i'd be back in the swing of things by now but doesnt look like it.
my next hopeless endeavor is; get some more hardware.
