Elamberth, 17 September 2013Hello! This is my first post and I am looking for advice on how to improve my room. I am an avid hobbyist and have been working on this for the last 10 years (I know a…
Soundman2020, 30 September 2013I just took a look at the REW file, and there are a couple of issues. First, is calibration: According to that file, you did the tests with peak levels at well over 160…
Elamberth, 30 September 2013Thank you for the help! Yes, I tried to calibrate the card & do the test, but I wasn't really sure if I did it right. The program seemed to get upset at me at first,…
Soundman2020, 1 October 2013Much better! Much more coherent and consistent. For future tests, you can turn up the volume a bit, by about 10 dB. I know they say to do the tests at 70 dB in the REW…
Elamberth, 1 October 2013:yahoo: Thanks, Stuart! I really appreciate all the help. I should have done this sooner, but I just donated to the forum. Interesting about the real ceiling being…
Soundman2020, 1 October 2013Yup! The acoustic boundary of the room is the hard, solid, massive, reflective surface that sound waves see. Light-weight, low density, or non-massive things in front of…
Elamberth, 1 October 2013Thanks!! Some answers to your questions: Some of the plastic is 4 ml. Some are just thin garbage bags... How thick should the plastic be? The speakers are blue sky…
Soundman2020, 2 October 2013I would use 1 or 2 mil on the cloud and first reflection points, 4 mil on the back, and 6 mil everywhere else. Nice. OK, so the response should be flatter than what is…
Elamberth, 17 October 2013I'm currently building the cloud, and saving for the other treatments from GIK. Should get them in the next month or so, and I'll report back with REW analysis. In the…
Soundman2020, 17 October 2013I guess the basic questions here are: What type of instruments do you want to record in your live room? And: How much isolation do you need between that room and the…
Elamberth, 18 October 2013Thanks, Stuart! I think I made an error in reporting the noise. It was A-weighted, so I prob should say 25 dBA.(?) With the HVAC on, it's 37dBA, definitely too loud to…
Elamberth, 8 February 2015Hi! It's been a while, but these things are always a work in progress! Thanks you for your help! I added a ceiling cloud (2'x4') of 2" OC. It is not big, but definitely…
Soundman2020, 15 February 2015You seem to be having trouble with your REW data again, Erik. That doesn't look like good data at all, for that size room. I'm also wondering why the sweep only runs…
