The walls are fireproof to prevent the house from spontaneously combusting when I6 lets loose his face melting solos.
 
Re: Rig Pics 2015

What is that you have on the walls? I'm converting my bomb shelter (really) into the band space and I've been trying to come up with a reasonable solution for the concrete walls and ceiling.

No wonder your balloon didn't fly very far. It was too weighted down.

Concrete is a difficult one. The problem with using egg crates/carpet/heavy drapes to control the sound in your room is that these materials absorb only high frequency noise. Lower mids and bass will still be really boomy in your room if you put these up, and it's exacerbated because all the high frequency gets sucked out of your recordings.

Go down to your local home depot or hardware store and buy some 1x4s and rock wool (like owens corning 703). Then head down to your local fabric store and buy some fabric that you like the colour of (the only rule is the fabric needs to let air through it, so put a piece up to your mouth and make sure you can breathe through it.

Make several large boxes with the lumber, then stick the rock wool into them. Wrap the fabric around them.

Stick these in all the corners of your room and put them up on parallel walls. Maybe stick a few up on the ceiling too. The rock wool absorbs low and low mid frequencies much better, without completely strangling all the high end in the room . . . so they really help to fix much of the crappy sound inherent in a concrete room.
 
Re: Rig Pics 2015

The walls are reflective for insulation purposes. That's insulation behind it - it's in the basement.

That box of 45s, I got at a yard sale for $5, haven't made time to clean / sleeve them yet; it's probably 500 of them. Good stuff, though. Lots of Motown and soul hits - Booker T & The MGs, Wilson Pickett, etc.

Now post up your rig pics!

That's that cool Yamaha desktop amp isn't it!?

How is that thing?

Yes it is, the THX10. Its great, I actyally sold my blackstar tube amp over it cause this little thing is all I need now LOL.

The cool thing is that there is a master volume and guitar volume on it, so you can get cranked sound from whispering levels.

Sorry for the hijack I6.
 
Re: Rig Pics 2015

You can do the high dollar acoustic panels over your concrete walls, but really, you can do it much cheaper than that - just blankets or carpets, foam, stuff like that.


I WANNA SEE SOME MORE RIG PICS!
