Thanks Thomas

It is not nessesary to link a measurement to a specific studio.
i am just intressted about a typical curve of frequency and reverbation in the lows, of some professional designrd and build studios.

i never learned acoustic, i just read books, and in the internet. so i have only my experience, and nothing to compare my results.

I don`t know where i am in the moment, so other measurments are a good guideline for finding out .
cheers

Hi folks!

Would love to see some graphs as well. Especially time response graphs.

Mika, do you think you could post an energy time curve showing the first 200ms or so of your room?

Here's mine a few weeks ago: http://www.gearslutz.com/board/studio-building-acoustics/481 797-lede-room-haas-trigger.html
Specular Haas trigger to be replaced with more suitable diffusers, more reflections to be had overall, and so on. A work in progress. It will at least give the general idea of where it's heading.


Cheers,

Andreas Nordenstam

Hi Andreas
I can only offer an old ETC since REQ don`t work anymore on my Laptop, for some unknown reasons (maybe a JAVA update??)  
ARTA don`t offer ETC in Free Version so here is the old measurement.
The 5 ms peak is a old desk reflection which is not present anymore, and this measurment miss the perforated MDF housing of the rear Basstrap soffit, so only the the 3 little QRD`S give the impulse at 16,5 ms
IDT Gap is now 16,5ms without that deskreflection, or better said with less deskreflektion.

Here's one. This was measured with a high sound pressure in the room.

I will not post ETCs because they are giving away too much info about how our rooms work.

This graph is pretty representative of what a bigger room with a big console (3.60/1.20m in size) can respond like.

The console usually messes things up pretty badly in the MF / HF, so we tend to preemptively compensate for it... *When possible*.

The consoles with the 'back' going all the way down to the floor (like some NEVE for ex) are also giving us quite a few headaches in the LF.

Any EQ in the chain?

These are tri-amped speakers and we played with the level of each amp (LF, MF, HF) to have an overall balanced response. It was a bit 'curved' in the MF IIRC, so we added a bit of that. How much I don't remember.

Another question:
do you see any big problems with the peak in my ETC at 5 ms?
i reduced it about 5 db, but it is still there.

cheers
Mika


I think at this point in your project you should just listen. Numbers are important and you do well in keeping an eye on them and using them to get your room to the next level.

But now it's time to let your ears be the final judge.

Forget the ETC for now and sit down a bit, have a coffee and enjoy your nice work Smile

Do you like what you hear? Do you have a nice depth, stereo image, no particular sign of freq problems?

From what you say, I would say that all this seems fine and the numbers you show are very good.

So... Do some projects now! See how your mixes translate! If you feel something is wrong after a while, then go back to your drawing desk.

It's your own place. Take it easy Cool

Thanks for reply Thomas  Razz

I would enjoy to listen my new room, but in the moment i am in Hospital, so i have only the numbers to play with.
I just try to use the time here as much as possible, since my working time is very limited because of my helathproblems since 2008 Sad

Only good thing, is, that i have much time to read and learn.

cheers
Mika

Sorry for no updates, but i spent all my time in hospitals, so i can`t work in the studio.

But i have some questions about the aircondition i plan to install.

I need to place the compressorunit of the doublesplit system on the roof over my recordingroom.
It is not allowed to install it at the outside wall.
So i need a good decoupling from the roof.
What is the typical naturalfrequency of a decoupled compressorunit?

i don`t know if i can easy go the agglomer way, since i have alot of this material in my storage, and i have no money to buy some additional sylomer.
My idea is to place some concrete blocks over Agglomer on the roof, and mount the compressor unit on top of this foundation.

The question is:
how much lowfreqeuncy isolation of this unit is needed?
Any experience with this?

cheers

There are no big news until now, but here are some before/after shots of the small recording room/vocal booth.
Not finished jet, but short before ready for use

Some better pics of the Control Room, where you can see the right colours and feel the vibe of the room.

I will make some mire pics, when i cleand the room, and install equipment.
cheers
