Post Subject: Sailing the seas of soundPosted by Ronnie on: 8/16/2007
The sail ideas sound good, and I did play with it a little (before realizing the magnitude of this rooms acoustic problems).
When you talk about diffusing effects, I think of reflections and reverberation that smears the sound so that it looses focus or contrast. That's bad stuff, but a much smaller problem than what I'm focusing on to begin with.
I have a theory that the contrast shouldn't increase at all when I cup my hands around my ears to block out non-direct-sound. It makes a big difference now. Does that sound right to you?
"you do not what to crate a perm impediment for sound by sailing-out the reflections"
I'm not sure if the rules change here, because my concrete ceiling is only about 205cm above the ground.
That gives me only about 15cm to work with (I want to allow tall people in the room).
What the new soft walls are curing is something that sounds like many percents of odd distortion, and tones appearing from the wrong side of the room or even from different parts of the room at the same time.
It seems to work very well, but I have many more square meters of wall space to cover.
I also have the hard wooden floor to deal with.
