thanks for the reply Z606...

that's a lot more complicated than the xl sheet I had. Can anyone translate? Is it good r bad? What sort of trapping, slot resonators should I be going for?

Which mode calculator are we talking about? There are several floating around - an ancient Excel one called Roomtune I wrote about 20 years ago, Ethan's dos-based Modecalc, the Harmon one I use to help map good/bad spots in rooms, and Jeff's ModesV2.xls which does a LOT more than any of the others - there's also one by Eric on his site that I've yet to dig into

if you call it by name, I can help with whatever it takes (except for Ethan's - never used it... Steve

knightfly:
I believe that Sword9 is talking about Eric's spreadsheet that I used above. When I click on that link that I provided above and then try downloading, I get an error today. Eric mentioned he was having issues with his website.
As for LemonAudio, I don't know which calculator he's talking about.

Mode Calculators (there's probably a sticky for this, but I didn't look):

I was using the basic xl spreadsheet

How do I interpret the information in the above chart? Is there something I can read somewhere?
