Sonic_X · 12th September 2011

ALoha,
it's been a while since last update...had to freeze the project a bit due wife pregnancy and taking care of our daughter

Today i made first measurements with FuzzMeasure 2.0.11

Left and right channels.

bump!

Sonic_X · 13th September 2011

More detailed screens...looks like 80Hz and 400Hz is problematic areas on my room. Any thoughts on that please?
Thanx

AnthonyRochester · 14th September 2011

It doesn't look that bad. I wonder if playing with the height of the monitors would change things a bit?
For those 3D graphs they are most useful for the low end response over time, see what frequencies resonate and take longer to die down. So you want to change max. frequency to about 300 and put the duration up until you see the sound dying away.

MidasHatesGold · 14th September 2011

the speakers seem to be very near to the ceiling...have you experimented with the hight....regarding SBIR, comps... etc.

nice monitors btw...

regards

Sonic_X · 14th September 2011

It's a position of the camera giving this impression of high monitors. They actually at 122cm high by tweeter which is the best high for this room. I did lower and higher measurements and this was a sweet spot. Also moved left and right, back to the front wall and to the center ...where monitors are now it's gave me the best results.

Here is 300Hz Waterfall.

Thanx a lot for your input guys

AnthonyRochester · 15th September 2011

So you see this waterfall graph is more meaningful, right.
I'm not expert enough to say if that big 30Hz thing is going to be a big problem, or what could be done about it..

he i think this BIG 30Hz thing is petty much normal, as low freqs waves is bigger then others

e

ehe, thanx for the input anyways

AnthonyRochester · 16th September 2011

yeah, I have a similar 30Hz thing in my studio, and I don't think my little monitors even produce much at 30Hz...

Sonic_X · 7th December 2011

After 1 year and 8 month of the hard work, tonnes of researches and testsings the studio is finally done! This is how it's loox now....and it's sounds just fantastic! This details and accuracy i hear now make me to re-listen all the music i ever loved....and wow so much i didn't hear before on songs that i was listening half of my life...amazing feeling baby

Also after adding 2nd sub the lows just opened and became alive uppfff loving it baby

I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who helped me on that project

Cheers
Jay

It is amazing feeling

Congrats, it looks wicked! The wood floor looks rustic and fantastic.

Nice to see someone who posted with a "what should i do" thread and now has a finished build thread. I love it when I get to see everything from the design phase to the construction to the final product. Glad it sounds great in your room

erikdrink · 3rd January 2012

Looks great!

Ronnie LeBlanc · 1st February 2012

Awesome build my friend!

Do you mind if I ask a few questions? If not here I go! lol

1) How did you build your walls on the cement, was it like so

Cement+Vapor barrier+Insulation+air gap+ 2 leaf wall?

I am starting a project in a basement and can't start untill I get the right info. You can check out my post here and maybe you can help me get started.
