Foam for at-home?

I've posted statistics. Please feel free to disprove ANY of it.

because in the world of audio acoustics, I OWN this.

You're not helping yourself, but yes time to move on.

I would say the same for you. You've brought nothing to the table as far as relevance goes. Meanwhile i've brought information which you can't seem to disprove.

Nope. Every great recording that comes out of a room not set up as you described rebuts your argument.

And here's where your entire tangent fails:
You're bragging about your 40 years of whatever experience you have and you're expecting the OP to be able to apply that to his room, which looks to be somewhat compromised by shape and size, and come out with something wonderful using cheap foam. The OP doesn't have your knowledge or experience and you're not going to be there measuring frequencies and reflections and every other thing, so the outcome is predictable.

You say Rick-Slo has brought nothing to the table. I disagree. He has posted many songs on this forum where he played acoustic guitar and recorded them in his home studio using his gear. He is a great musician and is able to capture his performance and his instrument using his gear/techniques/studio. I feel you (Monsoon1) don't have any idea who you are talking to.

I agree. Rick has proven his knowledge with evidence (along with some beautiful playing).

I have seen no statistics or relevant empirical evidence in your posts, although I have seen numerous mere assertions, a claim of authority and some simple arithmetic. You have yet to provide relevant empirical evidence supporting many of your bald claims. Under common rational discourse rules, you have the burden of proof/persuasion. Until then, your unsupported claims are rejected.

The OP also needs to realize that placement is crifical as well. Playing close to a wall is worse than being a few feet from it. This is because short reflections muddy the sound, and our brains ignore longer ones. Which just happens to work within the math of live end dead end rooms.

Nope nope nope.
As already said countless times, foam does not absorb the low frequencies. Yes, you get rid of the flutter echo. But its the lows that muddy up the recording, and if they are bouncing around the room (principally getting worse from the corners), it only make it worse. You can hear it when you are listening to a mix in an untreated room just by moving your head around the listening area and paying attention to how the sound changes.
If you are only recording in the room, then it is less of a concern, of course.

Seems to me that the degree of unconstrained contentiousness in this thread is unusual for AGF. Since it's on a topic that's more about science than subjective opinion, I think it's mostly good. :-)

I'm having a hard time understanding how the guy who claimed this:

Not interested in samples.
Also, i'm not looking for the usual chorus effects. I want to be able to plug a dread in, and have a great dread sound during playback without spending a lot of time and money on room acoustics.

"because in the world of audio acoustics, I OWN this."

According to Sound on Sound perhaps not .....

"More practical solutions require efficient low-frequency absorbers. Foam panels would typically need to beat least a metre thick to get significant absorption at low frequencies, so a resonant type of absorber is typically necessary, with membrane designs being most common in small rooms. "

Lookup "Live end, dead end" room treatment. It is the defacto standard for recording studios,

Also they seem to be under the impression that LEDE is only one of several commonly used control room acoustical design philosophies .

Just saying it on a forum does not make it so. Prove it.

Ownership, let alone foamership, obviously lies in the head of the beholder. 🤔
