walls, insulation help!
Hello all. I am new to this group and this is my post, but hopefully
you can give me a hand. I along with a very good friend of mine are building a studio in the house him and his wife just bought. We play alot of acoustic stuff. We plan to put a old jazz set down there. (its in the basement) and the whole works. The walls are concrete, and we know that concrete barely absorbs any of the sound! The problem could easily be solved if we wanted to deaden all sound, but we want to get a slightly natural warm reverb sound and therefor don't want to deaden all the sound. We'll be micing the acoustic and we dont want to use post-production to achieve reverb. Any ideas? Thanks for the help! |

Wait until yiou hear the room's reverb before you decide that's what you want to use. It might not be what you imagine it will be. -- ha |

They are not really too bad unpainted. Looks like hell, but its effective. greg |
