Any of you guys with a small home studio using acoustic panels AND diffusion? I finished up my ceiling this week and am finally ready for paint. I've got bulkheads and 7.5 ft ceilings in a small 12x14 room. It's going to be as close to air tight as possible so sound has very limited places it can go. I am going to be installing a lot of thicker panels (3 to 4 inches) but I am wondering about the acoustic panel / diffusers. I will be honest, I like how wood planks over acoustic panels break up the room visually. I think the theory is that it allows higher frequencies to stay in the room vs the low end being absorbed. I see Pete Thorn has them in his room. Many other people use them as well. But I also hear it said that it can mess with your ability to mix accurately because they liven the room. Experiences?
