Liam Watson Toe Rag Studios- Paper Ceiling Tile treatment
Did anyone notice that the toe rag recording studio seems to be treated with retro paper acoustic ceiling tiles? I have some in the ceiling of my basement and they definitely deaden a room a bit but not drastically. They are still sold at hardware stores has anyone treated their walls with them and found them useful at all?

it looks more like those old perforated tiles like what was in Sun Studios.

not quite the same, but i started poking around and found these. i'm sure they'd only be effective for higher frequencies, but they have the advantage of looking cool!

Yeah I remember them from Jr high band rehearsal rooms.
Look familiar?

I think the key words are 'wood fiber'
Lots of sources out there...not sure how the products compare to one another though.
Lots of new cement/wood fiber ones around now, I think these look pretty sweet.

I'm guessing they may be a little spendy though.

Acoustic tiles/pegboard seem to have been used in RCA-designed studios, such as RCA Studio B (Nashville), Abbey Road, and Motown/Hitsville.
Here's Bob Olhsson on "the purple site" talking about absorption and reflection in Motown. Interesting.

I recall reading that acoustic tile is mainly absorptive in the speech range (2-4kHz), which would make sense given its intended application in office buildings. I'm considering making a removable panel of acoustic tile for my movable OC 703 gobos, to see if it carries an appreciable benefit for recording drums and vocals.
