Thanks for the tips. I am only using the room ambiance tool for now to try to get a handle on what treatments would be most effective. I reran the sim using Rives suggestion about treating the drop ceiling as a hovering abject and the results where very different in the low frequencies. So it seems that I have a huge bass trap over my head as well as a good amount of HF absorbancy. That does match what I hear, not much spaciousness to the image.
ceiling model material for Cara?
I am trying to get the baseline model for my listening room set in Cara. As some of you who have used this tool know it is sometimes difficult to pick the material from the list that best approximates what you have in you room. What have others used for the best fit for your average drop ceiling tiles. Mine are made by Armstrong, that's about as much as I know about them.
I'm not sure if the Acoustic Board material model is correct for the ceiling. If it is, I have a lot of work to do in the HF area!
