Great.. I worked with rockwool first time 30 years ago, personally I am not concerned about the fibers going through the fabric, just curious as to what happens when it gets wrapped in plastic, and how much the type of fabric matters. I went with a 9.3 oz cotton duck as I had read that it would be a good alternative to the fabrics from Gilford, and cheaper.

Based on the bob golds FRK data, the turnover for high frequency reflection is about 1kHz. In other words, reflective membranes prevent frequencies thereabouts to bounce. Ethan will tell you that it isn't a steep slope what that slope is will probably depend on a number of factors.
Those LEDs look great! I have to show them to Karla. That's probably exactly what she wants.
Like Ethan and Rock say, the lower the frequency, the more a speaker becomes omnidirectional. This is why Ethan will say that you pretty much can't have too much absorption in a small room. Acoustic behavior is complex and more absorption increases your likelihood of uncolored sound whether you're listening or recording.

Thanks Hexspa. The brand is monster and they come with a remote, the colors are ok but doesn't have a warm white like 2700ish. I think this is the smallest bulb and thus arexcessive as Ialways dim them.

Hi Boys. Finally a progress report here;) It's been a weird couple of years and with all kinds of other stuff derailing my intentions of wrapping this up. BUT here I am.... I wanted to show you what I have and with this video, also open further discussion of what I could tweak and add and how to keep moving forward. First a Hello and a video tour, and huge thank you 'Rock" and "Hexspa" Best Lars try this link or copy and paste the URL ( I apologize for the dead videolink, I don't know how to remove it ): Studio tour

Drums sound crisp. Great ceiling coverage.

well im not really a drummer but its fun and I want to be able to have the kit here so others can play on recordings,,, or if its simple I can do it myself., I have storage room for the kit in another room... I am starting to experiment with moving panels around to get the best sound from various instruments, and I am also wanting to measure my studio now after all the panels. I have seen software for this but it seems SUPER intimidating and time consuming to me. Do you know of any devices, like handheld that can do this? or do I just have to suck it up?? Yes I can try my ear at simply finding the best spots to record this or that instrument in but I would also love to know a little more. Playing my upright bass in here, I am convinced that I need to treat more corners and I am not wanting to hang more panels in the ceiling-wall corners as it will be very imposing in my space as I already have 7' ceiling, thus I am searching for smaller and temporary, movable solution, do you have any ideas? pillows, foam etc? Best Lars Ps I forget Hexspa, are you a Drummer or bass player?

If I am what I do then I'm an audio forum participant and lurker, a guitarist, a singer, occasional songwriter and dabble in production; at least lately. For you, I think doing a Moving Mic Measurement is best. Supposedly, the results are very similar to one-shot sine sweeps. If you don't need absolute resolution in your sub bass region, say for mixing or critical listening, this should give you a good indication of how linear a given area is in your room. I'm not sure if it'll reveal decay times or other readings though. www.avnirvana.com/threads/mmm-mouving-measurements-method-which-one-is-best-with-rew.6360/#:~:text=Hold%20the%20mic%20at%20the,possible%20within%20the%20listening%20area. I haven't performed such a measurement yet though I intend to once my new panels are built. AV Nirvana is affiliated with Room EQ Wizard so I think that's as good of a place to start as any. If you want more absorption in the corners, consider making super chunks. I would try to make them out of safe n sound because with fluffy you have to support every layer and that sucks to build. With safe n sound, you might not have to. Just be sure to make them thick. My insulation was 24" so 31.5" cut diagonally. Some people cut 15" insulation diagonally but bigger is better, all else being equal (all else is not equal, however).
