Summers over
I don't work much indoors during the summer half of the year. So the other half is closing in. After reading about VPR's it says one should preferably use hot rolled steel plates, and not cold rolled steel plates as they are more rigid, less flexible. Unobtanium in Norway. So ready on one of the side wall is 12,6 sqm. of Caruso Isobond WLG-035, the other side wall will have 4,5sqm and the back wall 7.5sqm. I can't do this before I have documented the steel plate and done some initial measurements. Which ever way you turn, the ass is behind you.

If we do rock or blues (amplified music), we don't need that, we need short even decay across frequency, especially drums and bass, and somewhat guitars and certainly vocals, the chorus ladies and all other acoustic instruments live in a short decay world, that they can do nothing about, their remedy is to work in a space with good diffusion for the wibe.
Long and short decay is 2 different worlds that try to meet...
