hola turtleheads!

hey where do studio peeps in the know get stuff like acoustic panels and diffusers and bass traps n stuff???

i've found some australian places online but by george they're expensive. they seem to be aimed at restaurants and the like but i'm not making a recording restaurant, i'm making a recording studio.

any advice would be great..... soz i'm not FSing or WTBing.

Maybe try John Sayers Forum? Some good ideas there I recall.
You can build some out of tontine acousticsorb etc, still ends up time consuming and kind of expensive but that's studio building..
You can cover it with fabric from a place called RIM fabrics in VIC, fairly cheap acoustically transparent cloth...

I have various GIK diffusers I will sell, how I ended up with so many I will never know...
They are unused..

Hey Gaz,

I can put you in contact with a guy who does professional sound treatment. He sells the unused panels very cheaply (relatively). He does a whole van worth for a few hundred dollars or there-abouts. I did my whole studio with them (Autex quietspace panles) and figured out good ways to mount them using bit and bobs from Bunnings. Whole job cost about $400. If you need any advice for a room I reckon I can help - spent a lot of time learning about it!

I'lll have to track down his card but will pm you in the next few days if you'd like.

Hey Gaz
If ya wanna DIY I second daves advice and check out John Sayers forum to get some ideas
For absorption, corner traps etc I got a bunch of Absorb XHD 100
from this crowd, http://www.csrmartini.com.au/products/a ... ini-absorb
Im no Acoustician but it I reckon it works well and its not made of mineral rock or fiberglass or anything nasty
It cost me about $1200 plus some timber to get my 30m2 room sounding decent...considering it was a very narrow rectangle room with all surfaces concrete Im pretty happy with that

... Its a mother fucker to cut through so I'd say better for large absorption panels
but I managed to cut through it to make corner traps. I found an old dull backsaw to be the best for this

Being in Victoria Tontine acoustisorb 3 might be cheaper given freight costs but when I looked it was nearly double the price. Though the stuff I got may have gone up in price as they got bought out by CSR and I think i got the last batch before the transitioned

Best
Jon

Hey Gaz,

Dunno if you're still looking but,
I make a bunch of different acoustic treatments. Have treated a bunch of studios, big and small.
I made the diffusors that Phil has at your old digs
I can give you some proper advice and / or make you a bunch treatments, depending on your budget.
I'll PM you my number

cheers

Hi mate where are you located? I have 4 large bass traps/resonators which I no longer need (studio I am in these days already treated)... I am located in Sydney if you are up this way... If you're interested I can send you some photos this weekend when I'm in the studio

cheers
