That is exactly the final step of my treatment that is still not solved. I have the nice and smooth frequency response throughout all the spectrum. Thanks in special to the BDA project that I bought and built, It gave me clearence on the response, so I could correct the rest of the problems of the room by myself. But the reverberation times are getting it on my nerves! It got way better, but it is very dificult to get it right, and I have found out that the worst possible rockwool thickness to be used is the one with 5 cm (2 inch), now I'm using more with only 1 inch, just to decay the highs and not taking the liveness of the mids. I'm also using some thick First Reflection Panels to absorb everything. It is not perfect, but just by substituting the 2 inch panels it got way better. I'm pretty sure your foam is the correct solution, but they are a little bit expensive for me.
D, Reverberation times are all about the square footage of absorption material coverage and rate and level of absorption. You either do not have enough material or if you have material it is the wrong rate and level.
@@AcousticFields It is for sure the wrong rates and levels I have a low RT60 time at the 500hz - 800hz band and I dont know How to solve It. Im trying different setups, taking out some absorption, with not a big of a success
@@AcousticFields Indeed. One thing about your foam... Your graphs shows It absorbs 100% at 500hz and up, but you also say it has a more linear absorption curve. So... to solve my problem, would you say It would help with my struggle on the 500hz to 800hz band? I say this, because rockwool also have 100% at 500hz and it is destroying my mids/highs.
D, This is the problem with Roxul and building insulation. It is for noise management, not music and voice. Remove it all from your room and send me your room dimensions and usage.
Acoustic Fields Advice i have a studio that is 26.2467 (ft) X 13.1234 (ft) (length) 26.2467 ft (H) X 4.92126 ft (W) (on one side, cement ceilling) and the other side starts @22.9659(ft) and declines to 21.6535(ft) over a distance of 21.3255 (ft) & the ceilling is made of Zinc & there are double doors on either side off the 26.2467 (ft) wall (length), there is a.How should i go about creating a booth and control space.I am in South Africa.
M, We can do the design work and send you drawings. You can do the build in South Africa. Here is our design fee schedule. Our room design services are broken down into two parts: noise and treatment. Each has an associated fee of 1,500 USD. If you require both noise and treatment services, the fee is 2,500.00. A credit of 50% of all design fees will be credited towards technology purchases from Acoustic Fields. TREATMENT The treatment design includes room size and volume, source (speaker)/listening positions within room size and volume for 2 - 40 channels, all low, middle, and high-frequency absorption management, including proper rates and levels of absorption to match usage, type/amount/position. All middle and high-frequency diffusion specified as to type/amount/position to include proper diffusion frequency response/usage. All DIY drawings are provided for all specified treatments and types. Telephone consultation is available to assist you with any build or product implementation. NOISE Noise analysis includes all internal/ external noise frequency and amplitude measurements taken by the client under my assistance. Noise measurements are taken inside and outside of the subject room twice a day over 7 days. Barrier design based on these seven-day noise study showing frequency, amplitude, and SPL. DIY drawings provided for barrier design are based on these measurement numbers. Material list provided to build the specified barrier. Telephone consultation is available to assist you with any build or product implementation.
I thought using acoustic insulation was the way to go, you say it's "toxic" but I think you know very well there is non toxic acoustic insulation. Then you appear to show how your acoustic foam is better when in previous videos you talk about "acoustic" foam and how it's no good, but I assume your talking about a voice recording perspective. Your previous videos were more educational but this video I feel your misleading people a bit.
Z, The issue with building insulation toxicity can be quantified by reading the installation instructions which require full body suits and respirators. The fibers are made of plastic and metal. They are lighter than air and once they enter the lungs and body, they are never expelled. Open cell foam is not toxic and has predictable rates and levels of absorption. There is no comparison from a performance or health issue.

Which video are you referring to where he says that Acoustic foam it's no good? I'm curious.
