RE: [motm] Testing your studio

I decided that I’m going to ask my dealer for a refund even though I already installed the foam with glue. I really feel that my dealer and auralex misrepresented the product. I’m probably going to go with the realTrap solution myself. I’d be very interested in hearing how they work out for you.

Those are some pretty expensive bass traps! I ordered some MiniTraps from RealTraps.com today. I'll let you all know how it works out. I was impressed with what I have read on recording.org forum on studio and control room acoustics and had some nice email exchanges with Ethan, the head of RealTraps.com before ordering. So far, so good.

sorry for the late response, been really busy and haven't been able to keep
up with all my lists.

I ended up using 12" foam from Auralex. I now wish I had done some more
research. This is what I wish I had gotten:
