SteveM SteveM Planeteer Registered: 09/24/03 Posts: 1440 Loc: A couple of minutes from the b...	I'm trying to figure out how to effectively spend my not-so-hard-earned money, and would appreciate input. This is my thought process, please tell me where I'm correct and/or wrong. I want to do as little as possible to recordings once printed. And I like to track as dry as possible, except for very mild compression to tame gross transient peaks. I've already gotten an RNP/RNC combination for that. But in keeping with the philosophy of not fixing it in the mix, resonances essentially come from poor room acoustics/treatment and resonances are responsible for a lot of the EQ'ing that needs to be done during mixing, correct? As a po boy home recordist and one who plans to sell his house in the not-too-distant future, I'm not going to do special construction, etc, to try to make my "studio" (spare bedroom) sound beautiful. So I'm thinkin about getting a couple of these panels: http://www.clearsonic.com/sorber.html Wise purchase? Good way to spend my money before buying VS8F-3's, etc? I think so, wanted a confirmation or disagreement and added thoughts/opinions. Thanks in advance. _________________________ -Steve It is the essential nature of man to play - Plato

Some might help you now, some later in the next place. http://www.acoustics101.com/ http://www.jeffstrong.com/plans.html http://www.soundcontrolroom.com/plans.htm http://homerecording.about.com/gi/dynami...2Facoustics.htm http://homerecording.about.com/gi/dynami...references.html _________________________ Mutley58 "A bonafide rock-guitar playing relic."

I'm interested in first hand experience Planeteers may have had using panels such as those mentioned above and the like, how well that's remedied problematic resonances. I have some "home made" foam panels that I've been using, but they're only moderately effective, and thought adding something with greater absorption might be more beneficial. _________________________ -Steve It is the essential nature of man to play - Plato
