Anyway, Joel - if you're reading - I'm not a design expert, but I'd say if you want to redesign or add to your current design, you might experiment with the suggestion I made in the previous email. Hey Jackson,
Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it sincerely as this takes your time to compose and send and your time is valuable.
If we did not do a room set up sketch for you at the time, we would certainly be willing to do it now. If you could get me some pics of the room and/ or a sketch along with the dimensions of the room, we'll fix you right up.
As for hanging, there are a number of different things you can do to get them nearer the ceiling if this is your wish. One thing that works well and easy is to consider positioning your hooks (etc) 2" above where you would like the top edge of the panel to rest.
See our detailed installation guides here: Ready Acoustics - Guides and Manuals for your Bass Traps and Acoustic Panels
Some of these guides are pretty good, but may not address all of the issues you are trying to fix.
I am forwarding this email to Scott as well so we can get his input. In the end, it is your satisfaction that means the most to us, so I hope we can work up a room treatment plan for you (using your existing traps) and get you where you would like to be. If you can send along some of the info I mentioned, that would be great and very helpful. Also, I will take your suggestion about offering a strapping system that you described. In your view, would the bags be able to accommodate the straps as they are now, and the additional straps you mentioned? In your view, how far from the edge would these additional straps need to be in order to be invisible?
My thanks again for your feedback and the opportunity to help get your room in better shape.
Sincerely,
Joel DuBay Sr |
I think the same principal applies on the ceiling. If you want them to not hang as much, put more space between your hooks and stretch the straps a bit to reach the hook. It will take up the slack in the hook and bring the trap closer to the ceiling.
This is 1" closer you're fussing about right
And all of these dudes and their companies know more about acoustics than I do, but if you'll take a suggestion from a lowly engineer/producer in your drum room, liven up the floor. If there's carpet down. pull it up. It worked for me.
