I have been reading this forum for the past week or so, and it just hit me now. The traps i have in my room are actually GIK's. I knew Glenn's name sounded familiar. My studio is in my bedroom, which means there is a lot of potential for the sound to suck. Let me tell all, F**k all this nerdy spec talk, his traps did wonders in my room. Granted, my room still isn't at where i want it to be at compared to other studios i have worked, but it definetly improved everything a hundred fold. Clients are real happy with there mixes AGAIN. I used to live in a 3flat apt. building on the second floor. My studio was in the dining room. I somehow did the best mixes of my life there, ironically, without any acoustical treatment at all. Even better than mixes i have done in a real professional studio(old chicago trax, old slang music studios). My point being, once i put the GIK's up in my bedroom, where my studio now currently resides at, my mixes are back to there old self. Thanks glenn.
Here is something worth tossing around. How come noone has ever tried to make traps with dirt or adobe? I heard that dirt (earth) has no resonace. Dirt is the cheapest thing you can get. Go outside, dig a whole, voila, dirt. Granted it isn't as clean as fiberglass
, but why not? If it was built rite, maybe. Something to think about.
