DAY 10 and 11

OK...late update..busy..super busy... so we get back to the track on last Saturday... in the early day, we going to IKEA to buy some table top, bed sofa and some misc item. So the delivery will come on the next day...so today with the help of my brother, we paint the room. Nothing much, paint and syelek some wood material. Paint the wall turquoise (i believe) and the exit door red from the outside. We finish around late evening, so need the whole night to wait for all of it to dry before we can continue. Do some clean up, and out for family dinner. End of the day.

The next day, once done, we install the electric power. And I start to unplugged all the computer from the all room and transfer to the new room. Install the table, we custom it a bit. Bring other stuff into the room, install back everything and try the room how the sound should be. Just test it out using my altec lansing as i didnt get yet my Yamaha HS50.

At first it is really feel awkward, feel different and its really true, the low end are supermassive. I readjust my woofer bass, and test with audio check from 10hz to 200hz. Maybe im using the altec lansing, so from 10hz - 30hz are so not notice able, and from 130hz to 160hz abit lost. The room feedback / reverb ...well i cant say much, it something i had to deal with with this dimension of room. After all i said to my self "i really really need to do more homework to get used with this new room, its totally feel different"...

The later i install new sofa bed, this and that, dinner, continue, take shower, continue to test the sound. Yeah, after install sofa bed, put curtain on the window, and some few stuff like coffee table, the sound are way better than before. Now i can feel the low end and bass are controlable, mid spike up and high freq crispy. I kind like the sound, something like my old room but way better and wider sound (as last time the space are too small so kinda feel not so wide). Try play some movie, well hahaha NICE...

So about the wool and acoustic panel, i just got a great news from Dwayne, (he is very helpful buddy, honest and educate me alot) , he can help me to get it. Smile So i will continue later, once i got my wool Very Happy

DAY 12


At last, and at last Smile

I just got my rock wool last Sunday (29/05/2011) and thanks a lot to Dwayne from Redpocket Studio that helping me to purchase a couple of packs of rock wool and not just that, he volunteer to send it to my place...[size=150]REALLY REALLY BIG OF THANK YOU FOR YOU DWAYNE[/size] Very Happy soo soo much Very Happy.....so each package got 6 pcs of rock wool with the size of 2ft x 4ft x 2inches and 60kg density. Total for 3 beg is 18 pcs of rock wool.

Ok, it is a busy week, band practice for show, playing games, working bla bla bla list goes on, and on Tuesday, im going to Jakel sec 7 Shah Alam to buy a roll of fabric. [size=150]AND LUCKY AGAIN !!!![/size] JAKEL now got SALE...yay~ and with little money left, i just bought a normal cotton fabric just for RM3 per meter. ...well im not really a guy who always buy fabric, so i dont if that is super cheap or not but for me..that is super cheap Smile ...Bought about 40 meters...

So the next day, Wednesday.. around evening time as need to borrow my father truck to go buy some wood... Bought around 14pcs of wood with 12feet length each of them....price around RM10 per pc...bought it in Section 19 Shah Alam, there is MyDIY warehouse...i think it is a new building..

Reach home and i cant wait to do the work, so me and my dad take out our toys....i try to make 2 first... and i take around 3 hours to finish those 2...well, to cut the wood just take around 10 minutes, to screw and become frame 10 minutes...and to staple the fabric to the frame take around 1 and a half hour.....f**k GILA WEHHH....my advise...get a proper stapler gun and a proper stapler bullet...my stapler keep fucked up all the time...seriously..i feel like wasted my 3 hours for nothing and mental ill..~! it should can be done around 20 - 30 minute top~!! for lazy ass like me.

So the plan is....i got 18 pcs of rock wool and i just make 14 frame...why? Simple.. 10 is for acoustic panel and another 4 for bass trap....bass trap i will double up the wool...so im using 2 pcs of wool to get 4 inches thick.

Quote:
Total cost to make this 14 panel is;

1 beg of 6pc rock wool = RM 250 x 3 = RM 750
1 pcs of 12 feet frame wood = RM 10 x 14 = RM 140
1 meter of cotton fabric = RM 3 x 40 = RM 120

Subtotal = RM 1010 and it is worth it Very Happy


So thats for now...tomorrow will continue, hope can finish all at once Very Happy

DAY 14

So yesterday i just finish install all the panel and today did some experiment. First to get use to the room i just keep listen to some track for couple hours while reading some stuff thru net. I listen to alot of kind of song from metal to hiphop, classic to modern, accoustic to electronica, local and international. Some like Scott pilgrim OST (which i like the most of it dirty mix), MCR, The Stroke, ARch Enemy, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Dream Theater, Tupac, Black Eye Peace, Kylie Minogue and alot more.

At first i try the original speaker position i wanted to do. Well i like the sound. Giving a clear signal, less low end, but the high mid are bit higher but overall i like it, every single signal can be heard. Later i try to change the position, speaker facing direct towards my sliding door. It's bit tricky, i got no issue between left and right, but some how the reverb from my back are disturbing my hearing, and its getting more worst and worst till i get alot of mass. It become noisy and disturbing. Even i lower the volume, still it is noticeable it coming from your back. But i leave it that way for an hour. I cant dig it, really really not comfortable and hard to detect any tiny signal in the mix.

So i change back to the first positon, well like in the photo said, this position giving a room natural diffusion. There is very very little coming from my back, the reverb are just nice, not to obvious. I try to pump up the woofer to check up the bass signal... well nice, not over bouncing the room.

Right now i just started to continue mixing new material, later if it is done i will post, this is just an experimental purpose. To check the result, i need to get used to this new room. I also try to record a vocal, acoustic guitar and miccing and amp, just want to check if this room can be consider to do all that task very nice or not.

For other like watching movie and playing games, the environment is superb. Watching movie like in a theater. The sound are nice, even not the exact same like in THX..but it is considerable alot better than untreated room. Also with games, i feel alive. Well im kinda game freak, so i play game alot, its consider a bonus to my gaming satisfaction.
