Just not a daytime sleeper. I worked shift work for years on and off and hated sleeping in the middle of the day.
Ambient noise can be a tough nut to crack. My room is surrounded by 6” of insulation (at least - the floor is thicker) and I still hear the occasional airplane and motorcycle outside. As I often state, “pretty good” is all most mere mortals can hope for.
Hey, it works for what I need.
Yes it's very difficult.
So after a bit of time using it now, what are your feelings on the Tonewinner amp.
Yes. To do the Dirac Live calibrations with the UMIK-1 mic I had to shut down my "really big" pc and run just the "big" pc, lol. It's quieter. Plus I had to turn the mic gain down a little to get the noise floor down around -45dB at the MLP.
Yes it's very difficult.
Last year I was looking to reduce the leakage of sound & noise into my small (800sqft) home and to tame room reflections. The initial idea was to build panels as shown on many DIY sites.
I did my homework and found for my needs 2" Roxul Rockboard 60 looked to be the best material, though a bit pricey.
https://www.amazon.com/Roxul-Rockbo...cphy=9012405&hvtargid=pla-1184068766096&psc=1 In the end I decided on a slightly different path of action. Being a bachelor, without any female sensitivities to deal with, I took a shortcut and just filled in all
the windows cavities with the material and covered them with very acoustically shear draperies.
This killed 3 birds with one stone, reducing noise transfer both in and out, greatly improving room acustics, and hugely improving the thermal insulation factor for the windows. I have no
real interest in seeing outdoors and when I do I have a few cameras around the house.

Lord knows I haven't even had my old dual cassette deck plugged into power in years. Probably the rubber is hard as a rock by now on the tape transports.
Fiberglass. The only surface that has cladding on both sides of the suppoer structure (stids, joists, etc.) is the floor, which is the garage ceiling drywall. The rest is crawlspaces, except for those pesky slanty parts where the roof causes the walls and ceiling to come together at an approximately 45 degree angle (see pics in build thread).Fiberglass or?
There is a product that injects foam insulation inside existing fiberglass insulated walls. It reduced outside ambient noise significantly but certainly not completely. But not much in the low frequency spectrum. Low frequencies are a hard nut to crack unless you employ leaded curtains.
No problemo so far! Knock on wood…
Yeah. I have a slanted roof, def not 45*, but makes overhead speaker placement tricky. (In the audio room only slants in one direction)
If you're like me and love big VU meters, they look very kool too.
Yes! But you look more like that guy from PF than that guy from JT...
Nah, Sal actually looks more like some badass biker. But he's def far from being some stereotypical movie version. Actually a pretty smart dude.
I don’t recall the exact slant of the roof, but I needed to know it for some of the cuts I made to drywall and plywood. It’s about 45, but a few dwgrees off. Mistakes I’ve Tried.
