I have been watching a video about tilting the walls and the benefits it provides. Here is the url for the video http://www.buildthisroom.com/2010/acoustic-video/64-how-to-build-a-window-plug-and-stop-sound-leaks.html He starts describing how to do it at 2:25. I assume it is on a existing room. Does this sound like something that would work well or would it create a third leaf issue. My question may not be the clearest I understand hardware, but acoustics has aways been black magic to me.
Thanks,

Tilting all of the studio walls

I'm not surprised! Did you try it yourself, or you heard from someone else who tried it? - Stuart -Nevermind, It doesn't work.
That would be a record if you built all the walls required in a room in a few hours to be able to dismiss it so quickly. What Mr. Noxon is referring to is nothing less than the diffuse environment that is well known to be beneficial to sound reproduction and capturing. He is not suggesting to tilt walls from top to bottom as his video does seem to suggest. What he is saying is to change the boundaries of the room, slanting of the walls from the corners to the farthest length of the wall run. Granted a lot of information as it pertains to the actual installation of this type of wall panel seems to be "suggested" but is not ever said in word. The simple fix he recommends is a "cheap fix" and not recommended as a professional standard. Anyone who has looked at these wall assemblies for any length of time will recognize that this is an attempt to make a more diffuse environment BUT it also creates (in a typical residential coupled wall assembly) a potential low frequency lose by the additional air space. This assumes that a tightly sealed lightweight wall panel is installed, and I do not think that is what he refers to....it is a cheap fix as he said. Hopefully this will ease both of your minds.
