Budget-wise I think the 2 diffusors will mean I'm making everything else myself

I got some good material advice in the "Small Room Layout (Bass trap positions)" thread.

Some small changes, FRK behind the desk, the ceiling absorbers more over the desk, and where I think I'd like a diffusor to go.

So like this? http://wombatmusic.blogspot.com/2009/10/updated-room-layout.html Closer. If it were me I'd make the 2 behind the speakers (on teh right of the drawing) FRK. Also, that drawing doesn't show ceiling absorbers. Use FRK absorbers across the wall/ceiling corners (as many as possible), and ...

Don't use the FRK for absorbers at reflection points (side walls, ceiling, rear wall). why? i thought that stuff was meant to go all over...? i have the same dimension room and have really battled to find a good recipe. i have carpet on the floor so lately i have tried 1/4" ply on the floor under t...

So like this?

Great info thanks! For floor to ceiling corners, I guess my options are a 2x4 and a Tri-corner or a custom built 7' trap. Would 4" 703 FRK be a good material for the traps? It looks like it does a lot less absorbing at 2000 and 4000 hz (.49 and .23) compared to plain 4" 703 (based on this chart) htt...

How does this look for a layout? Is it over the top for such a small room? The room is 12x10 and I am assuming the traps will be 2x4. http://wombatmusic.blogspot.com/ I was also wondering about the vertical positioning. My ceiling is low (7ft). Could I mount them against the ceiling so that amps etc...

In the picture that looks like a big hole, isn't the great stuff more for filling seams? How about double up two layers of scrap drywall and caulk around them?

Wow that looks great. What kind of wood is that on the floor?

I have read that some mics are sensitive to humidity, but it was excessive humidity not lack of...

Could you be hearing the deadness in a negative way? Hearing no reverb will sound wrong to your ears. Maybe the new dimensions are creating some undesirable nodes or nulls that you are hearing?

There is a mention of using diffusion in a small room in this video

can you get silenseal at home depot? how much is it a tube? Silenseal is $70 - $80 for 12 of the 29 oz. tubes depending on where you buy from (none at Lowes or Home Depot), At Lowes I paid $70 for 12 of the GE Silicone IIs which are only 9 oz. Many thanks to this thread for this revelation! I had m...

OK well I have called John Hile and let me start off by saying YES That guy is not full of shit! He told me the same thing about caulk that you all said however he did recommend bathtub sealing caulk as an alternative because it will stay flexible.... This is a very informative thread :) Is bathroo...
