i'm moving my studio into another room in the house. it's pretty small, so i thought i'd make some acoustic panels to go behind the speakers, at the early reflection points to the sides and on the back wall.
i'll make some frames and put some rockwool in them, but i have a choice. i can either use 50mm stone wool covered with thin material, or use 30mm glass mineral wool, which is very dense, with a layer of acoustic foam on top.
the second option would probably be better, as the rockwool will absorb the lower frequencies and the foam will absorb the higher frequencies and reduce reflections. the second option works out more expensive, (if the the foam is 20mm thick), so i'm wondering if i'm overthinking this a bit.
i can get 16 foam tiles (300x300x50mm) from thomann for less money and it'll be way less hassle....(but i suspect they're a bit crap). anybody got any advice for me? i'm fed up of watching youtube vids about this, to be honest...
