[lekteri]

It's horrible!

How can you tell if it's horrible?
The reason I ask is that I would like to do the charts as well, etc.
But I have no fuggin idea how to read those tea leaves!!!

Edit: BTW - I LOVE your floors in that room! Very nice!

 

[lekteri]

First peak is at 55 hz. Second at 100hz.

 

[Waterboy]

Will this take my bass away too much?!

You're using a really colored microphone...

I don't think you can have enough bass absorption.

 

[grywolf627]

Those panels you have there aren't thick enough to do much of anything except absorb highs and some higher mids. Bass absorption takes requires mass...a lot of it.

My thin panels seems to affect 500hz and up.
When both doors are open i got that 50hz peak down -3db's. That 100hz peak sounds annoying.

I am planning to do nine 125mm thick panels. Front wall behind the monitors and screen. Front corners and side walls..

Your room is bigger than mine.
I shudder to think what the frequency response of my room is like, definitely worse than that.

Have you got any treatment in your room?

Nope, hence the "I shudder to think what the frequency response of my room is like" comment
I wish I could get room treatment ASAP, but unfortunately I have bigger fish to fry like getting myself a car, so treatment (and new monitors to replace these aging Behringer Truths that I'm borrowing from my sister's ex boyfriend) is gonna have to wait

your room is almost empty .walls floor ceiling all reflective.....no proprer basstrapping going on in the corners.
best advice is to invest in some acoustic treatment, i mean reading about how it works then invest in something to put in those corners
Also the panels showing are very thin for bass trapping.
what are the dimensions of the room..it looks a bit cuboid and the desk and monitor placement may not me optimal.

 

[vespiz]

Make your own traps. Lots of room to make stuff happen in there.

I used Paroc COS 5 on 2" & 4" panels and Paroc eXtra on superchunks.
(You can get them from Starkki and/or K-Rauta, about 30-50e per pack of 6-7 slabs.)

Here's how we did it..

Yeah dude you really need to use an RTA mic with a flat frequency response to get a proper measurement

I recently finished a college assignment on frequency response in certain spaces, I got a distinction (top grade) if thats any consolation? Might be helpful.
