Er, "Softboard" tiles (yes or no?!)

You should be able to get some idea of their HF absorption using measurement software. Even an RTA plug in and Some pink noise should give you some idea. Or simply listen. They should be quite effective at stopping HF flutter between opposing parallel walls. You could angle them to increase this effect down into the midrange. Ditto overhead. Hard clouds are sometimes used so why not half hard.

Ah, okay. Cool, as long as they won't hurt the other treatment I do, especially traps in the corner, I guess I'll use them as I planned to.

Thank you very much!

I wouldn't place them inside or behind SuperChunks. They won't do anything good or bad in there. Use them to prevent flutter as I described (distributed around the walls and even the ceiling) and maybe as Gobos (to separate instruments and amps, when recording.

I've got enough for all that and more.. nearly 260 sq ft of this "softboard" material.

For first reflections, I'm building proper broadband traps with OC 703 equivalent rigid fiberglass to hang with 4-6" clearance against the walls.. I guess I'll just use my "softboards" around some of the other wall and ceiling edges like you suggested, to take the sting off some of the bad room.

Thank you again.
