Studio Design
I’ve had a few people wondering how I actually went about constructing the Hit Hut and how I turned a smallish horrific sounding second bedroom into a reasonably good sounding dead room with a decently flat response curve. Yes, it looks like some sort of insane asylum, but it’s totally dead and the response curve is as good as I’m going to get with a room of this dimensions.
The damage to the walls is very minimal as all the traps are hung using small eye hooks in the studs (and in the trap frames), with good ol zip ties to join them together. This also means that I can take them down quickly if I need to… but I shouldn’t need to. The corner superchunks just use a few small screws to hold the minimal frame to the wall, and the fabric is stapled onto the wood frame.
Here are some pictures to give you an idea of how I did my Bogan Basstrapping. I’ll update this page as I get time & motivation.
Yes, I am aware that the pictures mess up the side bar navigation and links, but I cbf resizing images or playing with the page. 
First of all, I got the lovely Google Sketchup and made a 3d model of my room, fancy! This enabled me to figure out how much Tontine Acoustisorb 3 I’d need to cover the spots I needed to. I ended up getting (If I remember correctly!) 6 packs of 3 sheets 2400mm X 1200mm x 50mm which works out great for cutting even dimention triangles and rectangles.
I stacked them all up in each trap for a total trap depth of 150mm. Packs were about $150 AUD each. It is more expensive than fibreglass or rockwool etc, but it’s nicer to work with and there are none of those nasty chemicals and smells which can be found in other materials.
The whole job took me a weekend to do, it would have been less if I had figured out the angle grinder cutting trick earlier on.
I also bought all the tools needed for the project as I didn’t have anything lying around. Saw horses, angle grinder, clamps, staple gun were all less than a hundred bucks. I used a boatload of fabric, something like 30 meters which ended up being a bit pricier than I thought ($150-$200 ish if I remember), but considering you pay $500 for one of these traps at your local pro-audio store, I was still pretty happy.
The sketch I made which gave me a 3d visual view of the room. I could also drag basstraps around the model and see where they would best fit.

My makeshift factory outside where I made all the cuts. That 40 dollar angle grinder cut these things like a hot knife through butter.

The simple frames I made for the traps, the acoustisorb rests on TOP of the frame, not in it. You get more coverage that way.

This was the graph taken halfway through the basstrapping. Notice the 40db drop at 50hz, great for mixing dance music 
The graph after all the basstrapping, still a few db bumps here and there, but compared to the original it's unreal.
