also, dimmers (of the electronic kind) tend to generate a lot of noise and ground loops can also result in very dirty signal lines and depending on what else is cross the power lines, induce noise there. fluorescent lights are also prone to causing a lot of noise due to ballasts etc.

The Bunker is a Rod Gervais design so it's a lot more than just adding some slats over the insulation to be sure 8) if you just have GIK or Real Trap (or home made) units, you could make some thin panels which clip over them or using elastic etc to keep them snug. use numeric or other patterns (and ...

looks like a nice place. i'd probably try something like this:

you could build the loft BUT the problem is really low ceiling height - 7 1/2'... for now, you could easily add a interior ceiling down 2' which would leave room for the HVAC ducts and air handler and still have 12' ceilings which are very nice. in the CR you'll likely be adding a false treatment ce...

maybe something like this? http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/7632/joelmooreyt6.th.jpg with all that nice ceiling height you can put a lot of the trapping overhead in the CR and live room so it preserves the floor space. you could even put in the dividing wall and make the CR side a drum booth until...

yes, the bass trapping as well as other absorption will help. consider using some heavy drapes or absorbers on stands behind you (a few feet at least) to to reduce some of the reflections from the rest of the basement

phi = ~1.62 so if you made your room 1:1.62:2.62 you'd be in the ballpark - a 9' high room would roughly be 14.5' wide and 23.5' long... then again there are a lot of ratios you could use which might be closer to the existing room and only require minor adjustments to make it fit. check out www.stud...

nowadays its more like $1M and more for a professional studio. someone i was chatting with recently wanted to put together an 800ft2 studio in a popular city, in a condo, and had a budget planned of $3.5M with $1M just for the rooms and another $1.5M for the equipment... then again the owner was exp...

use the 2x4 pieces you have straddled across the corner. then go out and get more and make more absorbers. you need about 12 for that room.

nice specs.

i would consider traps on stands in front of the doors you need occasional access to. i'd also consider flipping the desk to where the keyboards and drums are and make the other section into your "live room" space... http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/2001/phantompowerrender3sv6.th.jpg http://img404...

there's a whole variety of ways to alter your space using inexpensive means - rolls of pink insulation stacked in the corners work nicely. breaking down and buying a couple of hundred $ worth of 3pcf rigid insulation and covering with fire retardant treated cloth and some simple frames will (for abo...

Jeff Cooper http://www.jeffcooper.com/contact/contact.htm presumably you are looking for an assessment on the existing environment rather than just the building acoustics, because the internal acoustics will change significantly once you get the isolation boundaries in place. you might be better off...

looks pretty cool. not sure how they are in terms of diffusion but some scattering must be happening due to the irregular surfaces. i wonder how they rate in terms of fire resistance?
