Room Measurements posted - help?

[Glenn Kuras]

I have some room to grow when it comes to treatment - I basically just have a ton of Auralex bass traps... (like I said, room to grow ).

One thing nice about buying a finished product is getting the personal acoustic consulting from the company you bought from. I would send them your REW file and have them help you out with placement of there treatment and over all set up of your mix spot. Let us know what they say.

Hey Glenn. It's a coincidence you should post this; after all my research, GIK is the company I've been eyeballing for broadband absorption.

I can justify spending some money on traps. Your new Soffit traps look impressive. I basically need the best bang for my buck (but who doesn't) and I don't have too much room for traps.. the closest corner (desk to ceiling - about 5'6" of height to stack things, and 2' under the desk), behind my speakers on the desk & below on the floor against two walls. Attached is my REQ file. Feel free to PM if you'd rather.

The measurements don't look valid to me.
128K? The default seems to be 512K. About 11 Seconds long.
Measure L, R, L+R.

Agreed.... Check your setting. The following video is a guide for set up.

Thanks for the help guys.

I've watched the video (thanks Glenn! here is the proper link btw: Room EQ Wizard Tutorial - GIK Acoustics) made some new measurements... calibrated with an SPL meter and did 512k. Hopefully you like these more - they sure look better to me!

Much better, but the norm would be L R and L+R Measures.
Waterfalls are most interesting say 20-300 Hz and so on.
Knowing the room dimensions and materials the boundaries are made of we could calculate the likely modes and so on.

The smaller Auralex foam bass wedges are not big enough to be useful.
MegaLenrds or StudioTips SuperChunks or thick panels straddling four corners floor to ceiling would be a decent start.

Much better test. Things look pretty good but still a lot of decay below 50hz or so. Honestly the upper frequencies are getting to the point of over absorbing so (since you are eye balling our products) I would recommend either our Scopus Tuned Traps or our FRL Wedge. The Wedge is not on the web site but basically it is broadband in nature but has a range of 40hz or so to around 300hz. Which will keep the upper frequencies alive. Not sure of your budget so you would have to let me know on that. Needless to say though I would think 6 to 10 of the FRL would do the job.

If you are going to DIY then I would think about something tuned or large corner filled with a slat design on front to help retain as much upper energy as possible.

Thanks again guys.

I took off some of my thinner traps to let the high-end breathe a bit, and now my results are much smoother (see attached).

With these I'm thinking about broadband absorption in the corners (which is basically the only place I have to put absorption).

[Glenn Kuras]

If you go with Broadband you are going to have to make them REALLY thick to hit that decay below 50hz and cover quite a bit of corner space.

I was looking at your Soffit traps... is that the way to go, considering I have a very limited amount of space for traps?

Going to take a good amount to solve that 40hz problem. I would recommend sending me an email through my company website or give me a call on Monday to go over your room.
