Soundproof Walls

How can I make the acoustics for where my drumset is better? I have a NICE yamaha drumset that i bought a year back and it sounds horrendous in the peninsula of walls that it's located in.

Does it have anything to do with the amount of furniture? Or the type of walls?

Who makes the electric hollow-bodied guitars that are set up kind of like acoustics?

Choosing a College Major to work in Acoustics or Stereo Technology or Sound? I am at a junior college and i'm trying to decide my major. I'm doing lots of engineering, physics, and math classes. I want to have a job in the future doing something with stereo equipment, possibly designing it. Maybe do something that has to do with acoustics or sounds, like cardioid microphones or anything like that. Where can I find more information on these subjects? Does anyone out there do this currently and know what it's like working with it? Does it pay well? What should my major be for that?

What do you guys (gals) think?

Why are electric guitars so much easier to play than acoustics? I am just beginning to learn to play guitar. At home, I practice on an acoustic (Washburn), but my friends and I often play at school during lunch. Several people keep their guitars at school, and we like to get together and jam for a while. I have noticed, however, that I seem to play much better on an electric than on my acoustic. Why is this? I think I read somewhere about electric guitars having thinner strings, but is that the only reason?

What sites (or books) have good information about the physics and acoustics of the flute? I have already found the UNSW Music acustics page on it, which is very informative, but I am looking for an explanation that is slightly less technical (i'm an 8th grader doing a project, i'm fairly advanced and interested in physics though). I do play flute. Also if you know of a good introduction to acustics of instruments in general, that would be great too.

My church interior is being painted soon; I want to liven the acoustics. Is there a special paint? The sanctuary is fairly large, and has a moderate echo already. I am worried that the new paint will deaden the reverb, and am trying to find a paint that will keep the surface as hard as possible (even if it means repainting a coat on top of the pigment coat.) The church uses traditional music, choir and organ, and so would favor a live acoustic. Does this paint exist? I've heard about it being used, but I don't know if it's just rumors. Where can I find it?

Is there anything cheap i can use to make acoustics in my garage? I have a band that consists of 2 guitar players, a drummer, a bassist, and a synth/keyboard player (me).

I heard egg cartons work, but I need to verify that.

I've finally decided I want to study acoustics engineering, but where do I start and where do I aim for? I haven't found any programs for acoustic engineers; all I know is I need to be studying lots of physics and mathematics. I love music, I've been playing music for 90 percent of my life and I also love math - I thought I finally found a dream job, but I can't find much on Princeton Review or College Review sites on this major / study. Help please! Thank you so much, and Happy New Year!

Rounding corners in a room for acoustics/repelling spiders? Would filling the corners of a room as such like the inverse of a sphere so that it is completely round instead of cornered by 3 walls do the following: 1.

How good are the acoustics of a gambrel roof barn? In my barn I have a home theater. It seems unlikely, but considering that it has a grainery on one side, a vast open space and hay on the other side; and it's on the dry floor and it has a gambrel roof, it could be all right acoustically couldn't it? 1. Raised floor 2. broken up roof 3. False wall; there are no "solid walls" around it; a ton of room above up to the muti-sloped gambrel roof and over to the hay mough on one side. Could that possibly be okay?

Does anyone know anything about Boston Acoustics SPG 555 oval subwoofers? The specs on them are very impressive, but I've never seen them in action.

Has anyone ever heard these subs before?
