Which service type is better? 208Y/120 or 240 "delta" with a 120/120 center tapped phase? What are your existing needs? Equipment designed for 208 volts does not generally like 240 - and equipment designed for 240 will not appreciate 208........ Your power design should be based on the equipment yo...

A 2x2 you buy at a typical lumber place in the states is, in fact, planed down to 1 1/2x1 1/2. This brings you to 18" total in the end. Correct - the advertised dimensions of lumber here in the States are nominal sizes related to the rough sawn conditions of the lumber at the saw mill. So a 1x4 is ...

This is a single story strip mall/office space. Concrete foundation, two outside glass walls face the streets. I'm planning on just building walls to cover them up. Probably double layers of 5/8 sheet rock with the ceiling being the same. I'm planning on a 1ft airspace between the existing construc...

Can you post some pics of the space - along with a floor plan? Also, is the 10' ceiling to the underside of the structure above - or the underside of the existing acoustic ceiling? Are you on the ground floor level or on a floor above? The ceiling part of room within room construction is not that di...

You might be able to seal the air space around the unused doors with' backer rod' (tubular foam 'rope') found at home improvement stores for a few dollars per 20 feet of material. You could do all those doors for about $10 (US). Its used to shove in cracks when caulking to reduce the amount of caul...

Thanks Rod and JWL. Rod no gobos in front of drums. I put a room mic up for the first time and could really hear the flutter. I knew it was there, but didn't seem to effect my recordings.Not alot of hard objects in the areas I hear the flutter.Could be tho. I just want to get it under control to ha...

Yes, All mirrored reflections treated. Mixes are translating well. My concern is during recording and I really don't want to kill the room. The flutter seems to be toward the middle of the room(open area). Thanks Rod! I will cloud the ceiling. The first tune is the only one recorded in this space w...

Only treatment on ceiling is above mix area. Not the problem. Rod, don't know how to post pics here. http://www.myspace.com/onemindrnc/photos Thanks for replies! Are you talking about when mixing or when recording? I would get a cloud over the drums for sure - that hard ceiling is problematic (typi...

Re: Flutter echo
Wondering what's best to control the FE in my room. I've read various threads on the acoustics forums. 7'10" ceilings, tile floor. L shape room 23' x 34'. Super chunks in corners.Diffusion on back and one short wall. Absorption on all walls.Only on ceiling above mix area.Sounds pretty good. But bad...

Re: weird geometrical discovery
Last night i stumbled across something that seems to be pretty cool. i'll describe it like a geometry proof. Proof of what? A geometric proof has to be capable of explanation - using variables....... An good example example would be a the solution for a right angle triangle (Pythagorean Theorem) - ...

So you've changed the wall composition, but you're thinking humidity might be the issue? :? In a small room, almost certainly not. Maybe it's affecting acoustic guitars you keep down there, but that's as far as I'd go. If you were talking about the sound 100 feet away from the stage in a big venue ...
