What does the thing on your ceiling do?

[Studio201recording]

It's a bass trap and a space-array. The bass trap (against the ceiling, in red) is 2 inches of absorption material with a 2 inch gap behind that.

.

Hanging just below the bass trap is a wood space-array, by Auralex. My understanding is that it makes the bass trap work better by directionalizing the sound. Space Arrays are also used to make smaller rooms sound bigger. I'm a little skeptical of the space arrays abilities, but it sure looks awesome.

.

The bass traps definitely does it's job.

@AcousticMusicPage

Thank you. I'm pretty happy how this song came out. The acoustic guitar is a Steve Stills signature Martin, there's a real Rhodes 73 key electric piano in there (which I played ;)… lots of real live percussion, and the vocal harmonies are very jazzy. I'm proud to have recorded and mixed this one.

look at thoose sweet sweet auralex boxes

Was going to complement you on construction, but Auralex did it. So nice work, Auralex. Still, very good video - really captures the what and how, and held my attn. If you're a poor musician seeing this (and if you're not you will be soon under my administration) - you can duplicate this look with mineral wool, H.Depot pine, and 'decorative suede' from WalMart. Its called WallMart Elite. LEDE-ish construction with some good diffusion. Nice work, Stuido201

studio201recording, whats the song playing?! its awsome!

[Studio201recording]

That's an instrumental remix of a song by Cody Road called "Woman" that I recorded.

You can check them out on MySpace if you're interested.

Looks great! I noticed you framed the walls and you stated 4" of rock wool but what is it covered in specifically the red material. what is it made of and how did you secure it?

[Studio201recording]

@TheDPAO

It's an Auralex Elite system. They installed it. You can learn more about it on their website if you are interested.
