Hey gang. I'm trying to understand the concepts as a general. I have some knowledge, but I'm looking for more.
One of my biggest things I don't know (and I'm sure experience would help, but I want a good starting block on the universal knowledge first) is how to decide when to use something to diffuse the sound and when to use something to absorb it.
Bass traps are a given that when trapping in corners, you absorb. But what about first reflections? Is it always best to absorb, or is there a general rule or a true science of any kind that states when one should use diffusion? I'm not sure what the rest are called (2nd, 3rd reflections?), but in general, how is it best to tackle those (or are those even a real concern?)
I had another question, but typing all this made me forget it (I swear I'm A.D.D.)... ill post it later if I recall it.
If any of this is going to be too difficult to explain in a post, I would definitely appreciate a good read (article, book, whatever!). No specific room or install, I just want to expand my general knowledge and understanding to become more of a "pro" audio enthusiast
