My home guitar studio is small, 8’ high x 12’ long x 8’ wide. So far I’ve got 3 2’ x 6’ 2” thick foam panels glued to plywood hanging 1’ off the floor. Behind the amps/cabs will be up to 3 2’ x 6’ foam panels, and the entry walls and door. I have carpet on the floor. Sounds great, no real echo anymore so I get good room mic’ing and can mic’ing (of course) my 12’ x 8’ wall has 46% coverage. I can move the panels if I need more but I doubt it as recommended is 15% to 30% coverage

Bass in corner projects more yes, but the back wave is close enough to the wall to hide it better, where as a sub further out in the room will actually get more reflections at different delay/ distance times. This is why recordests often put drums in a corner because it’s than easier to deal with the reflections hitting other microphones because you’re sorting the backwave early. In essence your running your sub lower and instead of trying to get rid of the corner buildup, you’re utilising it to get your correct level back. Also if your sub is. Right up against the corner, the distance from the front of the speaker and wall is close, if your speaker is say 1 ft long, then the backwave is only 3 milliseconds late to your ear and in general the human brain can’t separate 3 milliseconds so it merges with the front wave as a single source. Also, the harder you drive a sub, the more mass you are pushing further and the harder it is for the magnet and coil to compensate moving and returning that mass precisely so what you lose using the room is compensated by more clarity from the loud speaker itself.

Recording processes are different than listening paradigms. When listening, you never place an energy source in a corner of anything. This act brings in 3 - 6 dB of room sound which what we are resolution fighting.
@Xtn1Insecticide

@ the thing is even if you’re not in a corner, the speaker is still creating reflections and bass buildup dependent on the size of the room. Considering that low end is generally mono, for cutting/ mastering purposes, a single sub in the middle is logical, however then you might get a doubling of reflection effect at certain frequencies and in some cases a cancel effect depending on the length of the wave bouncing off the walls to the central listener so in this case an off centre sub would be better. However sound will still build up in the corners, it’s unavoidable so putting the sub there at lower db decreases the reflection intensity in general in the room because it’s using the wall reflection. This allows you to run two subs, one in each corner lower and also halved because you have two! and then instead of having to try to get rid of the corner buildup, you’re utilising it to get your level back. Running subs lower means the excursion is lessoned and this means getting that mass to move and return per wave is more efficient and therefore more detailed and clear. So what you lose from the wall reflection you make up with clearer direct signal because you’re also lowering the mass/ velocity/ return effect of the driver.

The industry is full of band aids and tactics as such that do nothing to improve overall room resolutions. It is the room dimensions and only the room di9mensions that determine what energy the room will "like" and what energy it will not. You keep what the room likes and your treat the energy the room does not like. This is not rocket science. The real misunderstanding comes in the application of treatments. People can't see through the hyperbole, exaggeration, and half truths the industry spits out that masks the real acoustic truths that involve rate and level of absorption.

Years ago ASC published a paper on placement of their tube traps. Over a decade of installations revealed that the bass build up was better handled if you put the trap in the middle of the wall(walls and ceiling). I had my room trapped thinking bass was building up in the corners, so I simply moved the existing traps to new positions based on the ASC paper and my room immediately sounded better.

All you said is right. Many people will not pay attention to the content of the whole video. Of course, treating only corners is nonsense. You need to take care of your complete surface of the walls first. Bass traps although help. But alone bass traps without proper wall treatment is nothing. This is the talk that platforms and sellers market and promote. Most people expect to spend as little as possible, and expecting incredible results. And at the end of the day everyone will learn it at least by own experience. Acoustic treatment is a science, and it costs a lot to do it properly. Cheap solutions, if we can call them cheap, lets say 500-1000 US$ can make an awful room sound decent or even good. But if you go the pro way, then thousands of Dollars have to be spent. The foam thickness, form..... everything plays a role. For the most part, you get what you pay for.

Well said. You are correct. In over 50 years of working in sound management, we find that 90% of people use a single tactic without an overall sonic strategy. They place this product here or there without consideration of the macro view for the room acoustic. Everything in acoustics is related to everything else. You may impact one area with a tactic and create more issues with others . Room distortions are like one large extended family. You must look at the complete room first and foremost. This is the impetus behind our mission statement of starting with low frequency management in any design. Low frequency wave energy defines and provides the foundation that all music "rides" upon. You must get the low end (foundation) correct before you work on anything else. The lower frequency fundamentals are directly related to mid and high frequency harmonics. Small rooms are like small towns. Everyone knows everyone else and all the issues that go along with that paradigm.

@AcousticFields Even curtains, closets, or different things can affect reflections. The biggest issue is an empty room with flat walls. This is the best example for untreated scenarios. The size of the room, height floor to ceiling also plays a role. Even a carpet impacts/diffuses the echoing. Even small vocal booths which are literally small are also bad for recordings. Prople tend to think that building a closet size like vocal booth is cheap and a pro solution. False, even though it is acoustically treated, it diffuses the sound of the spoken vocals into the mic. The size in this case is also important. A good example in a smaller environment is the car industry. Why would a manufacturer hire engineers to develop high end audio systems in a such small cabinet ? Exactly, to deliver fidelity and authenticity. Every cm\inch has to ne measured in order to calculate speaker placement and to add acoustic elements integrated into different parts of the car to achieve the task.

Not flat. Decorative recessed area. 3/4 left wall with entry door and opening to the dining room. Right wall had a brick fireplace flanked by two windows high enough to be just above the speakers. Front wall had a HUGE window with a decorative rounded top. At least 6' tall. Had six 4' tall 4" thick moveable acoustic adsorption panels with optional feet. Treated first reflections. Little audible improvement. 🤔 Covered fireplaced and used two smaller absorption panels that perfectly fit the windows. Little audible improvement. Blocked entry to living room with one and two adsorption panels. Little audible improvement. Removed glass coffee table. Little audible improvement. 🤔 Placed absorption panel in front of TV. Little audible improvement. Placed adsorption panels behind the listening position and on the rear wall. Little audible improvement. Placed an adsorption panel on front window and closed the 2" wood blinds for decor. That's the window located behind the TV and (LCR front) speakers. Whoa!!! 😮HUGE audible improvement! Center Channel speaker became focused and clear. Dialogue more audible and louder. The whole room seemed to sound better. Placed a second panel next to it to completely cover the width of the window and left them there permanently with the wood blinds closed so you didn't see them. During movies or critical music listening, I would remove the remaining panels from storage & place two at the first reflections and two at the opening to the living room. Much better sounding room now.

Nulls are produced by a dimension that does not work well with the other two.

My experience: as you move towards the corner the bass is accentuated. If you do not have mics (tracking) or listeners (mixing room) near the corners, corner traps might not help you much. I was building mixing rooms for TV and film, usually just a mixer and one client. Traps did not usually matter, but when the client brought the production team in for review and the rear couch and chairs (nearer the corners) were filled and people were standing all around the room. The corner traps helped to level the bass across a larger area. It basically expanded the usable area for effective listening. This is why I never applied corner traps on the screen wall. No one stands back there. If you want to be able to use your entire space and not have the effect of bass concentration in the corners, corner traps can be quite effective. I am building a home studio room. I will be the only one in there, and will rarely be near a corner. I am not intending to install corner traps.

Also I think being more dense and softer than steel it's better for low frequencies. But the cost is higher for the same mass like 3 or 4 times as much. I would think it is much easier to handle and work with than steel (for cutting, moving, soldering etc.) specially if thinking of 1/4 to 1/2 inch steel as opposed to thinner sheets.

I do think you are totally right that overall a much better approach is to build your own panels to treat all the walls AND ceiling. Build your own diffusors. And cloud. A DiY approach, where the cost is the materials, and the goal is maximum treatment is much better than _buying_ some premade 'corner traps'. The only advantage I see of favouring corners, if you really are going to only treat 10% of a room, is that often times corners can be wasted space in a studio. Which I guess is one of the reasons the area behind the monitors often gets treated expensively, and also sometimes the back wall behind the listening position (also for reflections too). I wouldn't want to put a guitar cab, bass cab, speakers, mic area or listening position right in a corner. So it's not the worst place in a room to lose room to treatment. Also, maybe, just maybe, it can also be easier to naturally have an air gap, behind say an 8" panel, if it's placed across a corner, the prism shaped air gap would be somewhat marginally beneficial to absorption? But you are the expert, so I wonder if that is true, or not?
