Which isolation hangers are you using for the ceiling?

Soundman, why are you lecturing me?

I am listening to Avare and I am trying to approach this as properly as i can...please do not lecture me, your tone is a little bit insulting.

RE..your previous post about the formula.

I found it..there is no way I can do that. I have no math skills other than pretty basic stuff.
I failed math miserably through my school years. It was an extremely difficult thing for me.

Thanks for your help..Im gonna just do the best i can with this..sorry to have irritated you guys.

Best to you all.

I made this calculator to save everyone the hassle of doing the math. I hope is helps you!

It appears that you've made the mistake most people do. You started building without consulting this forum.

Curious, Wes Lachot claims that 5 Degrees is enough to prevent flutter in his experience. But our John got a disappointment at 6 Degrees and thus calls 12 a minimum.
Overall though, such a big space, IMO the single best and most affordable acoustic intervention would be a suspended ceiling of absorbent tiles, with a large void, partly or fully filled with cheap light attic insulation.
If that is not possible perhaps smaller portions of the ceiling can be angled more? Sawtooth.
I did this with the side walls of a new venue here recently. I didn't bother with calculations, as I spend most of my time persuading builders that "I really mean it, angles, as much as you can fit in for me." They did their best, the angle is hardly perceptible but there is no side to side flutter echo.

The absorbent ceiling was suggested in my first post to the OP on Gearslutz.

The five degrees was per wall. 10 degrees total. The same general angle.

I am drafting my ceiling design. Install the [SPAM LINK REMOVED BY MODERATOR] behind the dessert to the ceiling and place a screen behind the console or install a large screen LCD. Does the TV cause unwanted reflections depending on how close the Studio monitor is?

Scanned for those (google) and couldn't discover anything identifying with those abbreviations.

Is it accurate to say that they are in a sticky some place?
