Acoustic Treatments...

Double Tones · 21st December 2005

If you got acoustic treatments in your space, what did you get and how did you know what you needed? Also, how did you know where to apply them?
Have you found that they reall made a difference in your sound, recordings and mixes? Do they make your mixes translate and sound more musical, rather than boxy, etc...?

Thanks

I used realtraps plus homemade corning 703 panels - works well!

DT,

There's a lot of information on my company's site linked under my name below, and plenty of DIY advice in my non-commercial Acoustics FAQ:

www.ethanwiner.com/acoustics.html

Between those two sites you'll have enough reading to stay out of trouble for at least a week.

Ethan - Great resources. I'm looking into treating my space and didn't know where to begin or even what questions to ask. Thank you.
