The mouse was to blame.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For four years I was reasonably happy with a hybrid acoustic setup consisting of a suspended ceiling with multiple layers of Basotect and about 30 HOFA-acoustic modules. Then a little mouse died somewhere in the ceiling, untraceable between the layers of Basotect. Anyone who does not know how that smells can be considered lucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I was only \u201creasonably\u201d satisfied with the setting in Controlroom B, I decided to redesign the acoustic setup in order to be much more flexible. This is due to the fact, that I prefer recording in the Controlroom and use our recording rooms only for the big stuff like drums or bigbands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, why preach wine and drink water?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 35 frames, 50 absorbers, 20 diffusors and 16 basstraps later, my \u201cacoustic world\u201d was as right as rain. Finally I had what I wanted: a perfekt link of midrange and high end via well dosed high mid frequencies.
For mixing I use the same setup as for vocal recordings. When recording guitars or percussion I simply replace 5 or 6 absorbers with diffusors. So I get euphonic recordings with the right ambience and scarcely use EQ or FX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few words of advice:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Horizontally installed frames are more practical, because modules can be changed seperately. With vertically installed frames you always have to remove the module on top first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Horizontally installed frames offer more useful \u201cshelf-space\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • When your place your bits and pieces like adapters, tools or picks on those \u201cshelves\u201d they are always at hand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
