Arcade Buttons MIDI Controller
A few years ago I found MIDI Fighter. MIDI controller with arcade buttons instead of traditional pads. Great idea. In the beginning, it was a DIY solution and that was also my inspiration. Arcade buttons are perfect for finger drumming or, in my case, for Cue Points control (with multi-coloured LEDs it's a perfect solution) in any DJ software (like NI TRAKTOR or Mixxx). Great idea of how to extend my DJ setup.
...Acoustic Panels - Side walls and cloud position
We can now move on to the next chapter in the construction of my production room. After the corner bass traps were complete it was necessary to take care of the side walls in the early/first reflection zone, so I built several acoustic panels for the side walls and also a couple for use as cloud absorbers hanging down from the ceiling. The acoustic panels are cheap and very simple.
Is important to mention that these acoustic panels are basically very universal. If you decide to treat the room in a simple way this is all you need is to create a several of these panels and place them in the right places - surfaces (walls, ceiling) and corners as well.
The panels consist of three main parts:
...Stand alone Acoustic panels / Bass traps
The front wall of my room (behind the speakers) contains the window, so I had to resolve the acoustic treatment of this section of the room by stand-alone solutions. I decide to make acoustic panels from an acoustic absorbing panels, placed in to a wooden frame standing on simple legs made by few wooden laths. On the front and back side, I covered the acoustic material by breathable fabric (pinned on the light wooden frame). Since panels are relatively thick and are situated about 30 cm from the front wall, they can also absorb also part of the low frequencies range. This contributes to better room acoustic response (less distortion) on the bass sounds so it also has the function of bass trap.
