I’m building acoustic panels and I have 10 cm thick mineral wool, but my frames are 8.5 cm deep.
Would compressing the mineral wool by 1.5 cm (about 15%) negatively affect its sound absorption performance?
Is this amount of compression okay for an acoustic panel?
Hello everyone,
The public institution I currently work for has assigned me to help develop a music activity space for young people. They asked me to research and report the instruments and equipment required for setting up the building. However, I only have a home studio and I don’t have extensive knowledge about professional studio environments.
They are planning to include four separate rooms:
Recording Room(s? Should vocals and instruments be recorded in the same room?)
Rehearsal Room
Podcast Room
Control Room
They want me to learn what equipment is necessary for each room, as well as how these rooms should be connected to one another.
Also, since this is a public institution, there is an idea of keeping certain instruments permanently available in the studio. Do you think this is necessary? If so, which instruments would you recommend having on-site?
I do have some knowledge about audio equipment, but I’m far from being an expert.
If you could help me with this, it would honestly mean a lot to me. I’m looking forward to your advice and recommendations.
