Any opinion about my "wishlist" ?

For corner and bass traps, that's what I'm gonna do. I'm ok to afford the auralex, but I'll make my own bass traps cause it's damn expensive. I will try some things.

Yeah, foam ain't gonna do much for bass, which is where treatment is most essential IMO - bass traps need to be some sort of rigid, porous material (rigid fiberglass is most common, rockwool is a more affordable option that's pretty much as good but can get flaky over time ) and should straddle the corners, for example:

And check this vid for help with DIY'ing bass traps:

I was wondering, before putting something serious in the corner, what about putting things in order to "break" the corner, so that there is no corner anymore ? Does that work ?

 

[Soundlurker]

If it's the right "things" it would work, but sticking some piece of furniture there would have marginal effect. You need foam, rigid fiberglass or rockwool.

I see what you mean. If the material doesn't absorb low frequencies, its like hot butter trying to stop a knife.

Hey I've come to another idea dudes. As I'm planning on having a few plugins that work for not too much dollars (I should say, euros!). What about getting an UAD-1 ? It is supposed to be able to run 16 instances, which would maybe do the job for basic projects, costs the same as a 2 or 3 stillwell or voxengo plugs, and I could still mix with other cheap plugins for the biggest projects ?

Are there alternatives to the yamaha and the tannoy in that range of price ?

EDIT : found also :

dynaudio bm5a, adam's a7, prodipe pro8, yamaha hs80m, event tr6, yamaha msp5

I would love to try them but I guess I couldn't. Although, the Yamaha hs80m seem to be a standart.

I think I'm gonna try those yamahas. Someone is selling a pair of them at a few kms.
