Hey all,
I am trying to figure out how to best treat my room. I should say right off the bat that this is not a studio, but more of a jam/practice room that I want to sound good and be able to do very simple demo type recordings of my own band.
My room is 15' x 19' by 8' with no window and 1 door in the middle of one of the 19' walls.
I have done some reading in the acoustics section of the forum, but feel more confused than closer to figuring it out.
I think I need corner bass traps, but do I do the superchunk method or another method based on room size? How many panels on walls? Feeling very confused!
Any help would be appreciated.
Oh, and here is a link to my build thread:

Treating my room

Make like 15 or 20 broadband absorbers of 1x4 with two sheets of wool in them in order to bring your RT60 down and make a listenable practice room
Then check if you have bass issues and consider building some superchunks
Thanks jabassino,
Are you saying to build the frames out of 1" x 4" lumber or to build them 1' x 4'. Do you mean to use two layers of 2" rockwool?

Hello all,
So a friend of mine had some left over stuff from a recording job he did years ago and gave me a case of the following stuff. I received 8 pieces of the 24" x 48". I am hoping someone can give me some advice on placement of this in my room and how that may or may not effect the number of absorbers I build.

Thanks!
anyone?
Bass traps go in as many corners as you can manage, and mid/high frequency absorbs go at the reflection points. In a small room more absorbers or diffusors on the rear wall can help further. That's 90 percent of it.
