Dear List,
I just moved, yeah! Anyway I now have a big living room, basically 15'Wx18'x8.5' tall. I also bought a new mac laptop so I can run PC audio apps...I need to treat this room, it will be my first room treatment. I am also broke, sorta. I will be using it for TV watching and 2 channel listening. I have small bookshelf speakers and maybe a sub at a later date. I dont have a mic or even a spl meter. I have read the archives on this forum, so I kinda of have an idea where to start... I live in boston so maybe I can drive to get some panels, maybe not. I am bouncing back and forth between DIY and gik and realtraps. I am afraid that the DIY stuff will look like garbage, maybe sound like it as well. I don't really have 1000.00 to spend on traps AND 325.00 to spend on a mic from acoustisoft.com and 150 to spend on software... My speakers cost 400.00 from omega speakers. I think that I could just get some panels and have a go with it... Here is a photo I made in photoshop the floors are hardwood, i have one couch and a 27" TV.
Thanks,
Ken
