Oy.
I think the difference is in what the intent of the original post is. This is, obviously, different for every new thread, even if it doesn't seem like it to the guys here that read ever single thread that is started here.
I will agree that there are a lot of common denominators, but they are all a little different.
Now, within these differences, there is intent. I would say that most people want their room to sound better and get back to making music. They don't necessarily care about the why. There is nothing wrong with this. I could care less what value resistor is where inside a limiter that makes it do one thing instead of another. I care even less about what the actual electrons DO when they get to that resistor.
I just want the limiter to work.
I draw this analogy of acoustics to electronics for a reason.
Electronic components : Types of treatments.
Electrons : Sound.
I, personally, want to know as much as possible about this. I want to know about the different kinds of treatments and what they do. I want to know what happens in the room when different things are done. I want to know on the electron level. I don't want to blindly do X,Y and Z because it will most likely work because it mostly works in most peoples' bedrooms or whatever. I'm looking for more.
I can understand how other people on, say, an electronics forum, would be annoyed if someone simply asked, "My mic pre buzzes. How can I get it fixed", and someone goes into the physical properties of what electrons do to make something buzz. I get that.
However, for this particular thread, I am asking for it. I want it.
I don't want to simply swallow the fiberglass pill and go about my business. I want to know that by putting superchunks in my front and rear ceiling wall corners will help my 1,0,1 mode. I want to know why.
I haven't been as excited about anything as I am with acoustics since I got into recording about 12 years ago. I feel the same way about it.
I have books. Everest and Rod G. Books are good. First hand experience is better.
Now, I'm not saying this to prove or disprove anyone about anything. I am simply making an observation.
As to what's happening in this thread, I found SAC's post very helpful. I understand that his posts can be perceived as hammering a finishing nail with a bulldozer, but in my case, it was welcome.
I hope that makes sense and I hope I didn't ruffle anyone's panties.
