Genius OR idiot? Acoustics
I know this may sound dumb but would canvas punching bags work as bass
traps? They are not filled with corning 70X but they gotta be better than the foam crap you buy for $50. Besides, being a boxing fan I think it would look really cool in my studio. Everlast sells 40lb(Not to heavy to hang I dont think) 14" diameter(Rather Large compared to tubes) 30" long canvas bags for about $75. Anyone have any thoughts? |

Also, empty cardboard boxes, empty file cabinets, junk automobiles... the list is endless. All you need is a volume encloded by a frail semiresilent enclosure. Ang. C. |

Right, so add some chickens to the junk cars and you have breakfast, dinner, and better absorption. Also, consider just keeping all your old girlfriends (or boyfriends) and have them stand around in absorptive and diffusive postures. Do this right and you won't need coffee table books and that kind of stuff. -- ha |

Ten you can get a real work-out between takes. But then you have to contend with some (non-contender) bass player who decides to take a few punches (without wraps or gloves) and ends up with a wrist injury & cant play for a week.

Not sure what you mean by semi resilient... My understanding is that you are trying to put enough mass into the corner so that air is unable to move right? Agent: Why not just hang bass players in the corner? hahahaha |

They are not filled with corning 70X but they gotta be better than the foam crap you buy for $50. I would think the canvas would not have near the sound absortion qualities of foam. Maybe if you were to cut slits down the bag would help, (assuming the stuffing doesn't fall right out). Oh the worshippers of foam with no understanding of the mechanisms of absorption. At low frequencies, you can actually improve absorption by covering foam with canvas. And for added effect you could swing the bag while recording and really move some air! |

And for added effect you could swing the bag while recording and really move some air! Songster: Oh its just a canvas rapping around foam. I think its breathable too... So aside from the yeah sure you can do it. Anyone think its a good idea? The major problem would be to figure out how to hang the bag inches from the corner. I dont think there is any beams there... |
