what are you listening to?

[George S.]

I like carpet and drywall, textured finish on ceiling may also help some. Worst room I ever had was a 1930s basement, brick walls, concrete floor, open ceiling joists. Like a bad PA system in a high school gymnasium.

 

[J!m]

Those open joists are good but five reflective surfaces didn’t help.

It’s “an evening with Phoebe Snow” tonight.

Who?

Your room and speaker placement are probably the biggest factor.

... and if your room is too problematic, just use brute force.
Just turn it up to 11.
There comes a point where it just doesn't matter what the room is anymore.

Hooked up the Epicures, that made all the difference in the world. What a pain in the ass. If the ol lady see's this mess Covid is the least of my worries.

It now sounds fricken awesome. I better finish my 400 or I'll be musicless AGAIN

Weird, off-topic, but that wall paneling looks really nice.

Yeah, that's the good stuff. Is the entire room done in it, Perry? Or just two walls as accent?

As an aside, it also looks cool painted white but it has to be oriented vertically for that to work well, at least for my design sense (or lack thereof).

I love this.....

Getting back to the proper rabbit hole:

This one....

 

[pennysdad]

I love this.....

There have been gigs, where no matter how hard I tried, I was drowning.
Nothing was coming together because of room interference.
But then, short of hanging myself from the lighting truss, I thought, f*ck it, just go for it.
Just pushed the whole thing into the red, and then this most remarkable space opened up and the system pushed the room clean out the door.
Those gigs were the best 'cause then all you could hear was the PA. The crowds always went nuts, and I knew my job was done.
No better satisfaction than that....

Sorry for going on. I just had a bit of a lapse. [BIG SIGH]

 

[laatsch55]

Go on all you like George....music to my ears.....

Yep, the whole room. When I have free time, it's all going to my burn pit and it will get rocked and painted. It's not my style. Well, I have no style but I don't like it except if it was in an ice fishing cabin.

 

[J!m]

I buy ice by the bag- no need to fish for it.

(McDonalds has the best price on ice)

Got this today at the thrift. If you like blues, get it.
