Finally finished it today! Thought i'd share some pics as I learnt alot about the DIY panels on this forum.
Theres still a few things to do like the main light, mood lights, a couple of more panels possibly and some finishing touches. It looks a little like a
sauna haha but its sweet when you're in there. I have some left over insulation which I may use to make some more panels to go behind the monitors.
I listened to some CD's today and WOW. I really recommened treating your room if it isn't when it comes to mixing...or just listening to music in general!
Has a really nice immersive ambience to it which should be great for being absorbed into the music when it comes to writing.
I can hear alot of detail I was missing before and can actually hear what my KRK's are pumping out. I listened to Michael Jackson (because the produciton is amazing)
and dam I can hear a vertical depth which I havn't heard before. Like the vocals coming from high up, the guitars low down and drums/everything else in the middle.
Spatial depth is alot clearer now also...like the room sounds/reverbs.
Its not perfect by a long shot as its only a small room but its a dam big improvement on what i'm used to.

(I realised after the first couple that you don't need this much string :p)

(The ones at the side here are old ones i made which i'm getting rid of. The side/mixing position ones which are there now are mounted on the wall at an angle)
I should have an SSL X Desk and Duende arriving tommorow to add to the rack :D Pretty lights! Will take some more pics of that when its all plugged in
Going to take a while to get used to a treated room! Its been invaded by 2001 Space Odyssey Obelisks!
