Nice video, those bass traps would fit my small room perfectly. But what's the deal with people that say you need space behind the traps? Would that make the room less boomy?
Thanks! Air gaps behind absorbent material is a bit more effective it would seem. But if you're in a small room, nothing's going to be perfect anyway. So I Wouldn't sweat it. Just do what you can with the budget you have, and get back to making music ;)
Among all the videos I saw on RU-vid about making absorbent panels ... no one has made or shared very strong carbon absorbing panels ... I mean exactly the same tuned absorbent panels with a membrane from the Dennis Field acoustic channel ...
@@wallofsoundandmusic345 insulation with Flow resistivity of 2500 is optimal, he is using 10000. 2500 will perform around 105% better than 10000. 426mm deep triangles coming from 2ft x 2ft squares
If you want it to absorb high frequencies too, then it should be acoustically transparent (you can breath easily through it). If you don't care about high frequencies, it can be any fabric you want! I used muslin for these absorbers because it's cheap. Dyed burlap for the front cover panels because my friend wanted funky colors, and it's relatively cheap. Both of which are acoustically transparent
Good day sir, i have a question. Data that i have says, that there must be air space between wall and bass trap. Maybe that about thick and flat rectangular bass traps. I am very confused about acoustic treatment, i have found no universalized and simple information step by step... Did you used any calculators to count needed thickness of rockwool? And room modes, you calculated them?
Thanks Paul! This was a very unscientific project. I'm sure an air gap would help if we'd had more space. but that would leave way less room for insulation. So I gave it my best guess without purchasing room analyzing equipment. Did this for my friend's music room for cheap haha
That stuff you used only adequate in the midrange and higher frequencies. I'm sure your "acoustic treatment" is perfect for against comb filtering above lets say 200-250Hz but it does absolutely nothing with much lower frequencies. If I'm wrong you should be able to prove it with measurement data. Did it improve the boominess in the lowest frequency range? I highly doubt. After all it is your room I'm just frustrated by the fact that so many people believe this nonsense and some of them even promoting it by making videos like this. Cheers
I'm not promoting anything, simply documenting my diy project. And I don't care to 'prove' anything as I'm not investing the money in measurement equipment. Simply soaking up whatever acoustic energy I can with the limited time and money I have available. Cheers
Hey buddy as you clearly know so much I thought I'd go check out your useful DIY build video instead. Oh wait, there isn't one. You know the big giveaway that you're just repeating crap you've read elsewhere to try and sound smart? You wouldn't be watching a video on making bass traps if you already knew your stuff. 3/10, must try harder ;) And thanks to @Mixdown Music for a very useful video.
