My Garage Live Room Build.

Idea 1, for the long walls. This idea would be flopped on the other wall (so where the treatment is up on the wall, opposite it would be down, helping to kill the paralells and still leaving some of the room sound... Idea 2, for the short walls. Basically same thing.. Idea 3. This is the ceiling. As shown, the black is the MDF frame of the clouds (which are already built, have lights built into the corners). The red is going to be 2" rigid, wrapped of course... Aside from the floor to ceiling 4" bass traps in the corners...That's what I have so far as my idea of treatment. NOTE: All treatments would be 2" rigid fiberglass, wrapped in fabric, hung 1" off of the wall

no one else then eh?

I've been getting some very useful help from Ethan Winer and some other people elsewhere...but there's still an issue to attend to... Anyways... I think the last thing I have left to worry about here is the type of fabric I'm going to be using. What sort of fabrics are good, what are bad...what what what. I'd much much rather stay away from grays, whites, etc. I'm looking to find some red fabric. A friend of mine has told me of a place that sells fabric around here, and usually has bolts for very cheap of older fabric they are looking to get rid of. What should I look for? What should I stay away from? Any thoughts, ideas, or links to fabrics would be helfpul, or if this is really just not that important, phew.

Hai Ork! Nice building progress so far, I'm sure yer delighted to finally have some GB walls up eh. After all that planning. good to see it happen! 'Bout the acoustic panels, you'd better have the questions outline in the Acoustics forum. The answer you're prolly get is to get a fire proof fabric. Like jute etc. Ask your local fabric dealer, it comes in various forms, colours and thickness. I recently asked for the same stuff and my local dealer got me a list of fabrics, prices etc which are kinda fire-proof and not to dense (depends on application) So, shop around.

little update... Yesterday I got the last of the rock hung and got the room caulked and the first coat of spackle is up. Today or tomorrow, I'll sand it and give it a skim coat where necessary and then it's time to boogie... Didn't get to take any pictures because it was starting to rain and I had to get a bunch of stuff back inside of the room from the yard.

forgot to post a bad picture of progress

haha, that's HELL-STUDIOS right!?

haha it's the bad camera with a bad shutter speed... in actuality, it's a lot more light in there...and the orange isn't so deep

spent yesterday building the treatments time to get em hung! (the ones you see on the wall are just like dangling from the mounting hardware...we wanted to see what the staggered effect looked like
