Square rooms will have some frequencies that will reverberate more than rectangular rooms. If the room is too small, the sound will resonate more within the space. It is also more difficult to achieve good acoustics in a tiny room.
You are kidding, right? Wow! I mean, like nobody here knew about such stuff! Thanks so much for bringing it to our attention! :) And you mean that, for example, if a control room measured just six feet by six feet, and was housed in a trailer, then that would be BAD, because "some frequencies will reverberate more"? Hmmm... But what if the live room also measures 6' x 6'? Would that make it even worse? - Stuart -
LOL! You crack me up stuart. was having a rough day, but running across that last post made me laugh. :P
:) ! It's a pity the original spam posts aren't still here: they were quite hilarious! Without them, my comments seem a little "off". Some spammers don't have a clue, but this guy takes the cake! He beats out all the rest in "not having a clue"! He was trying to sell his design for a "portable studio" housed in a 12 foot trailer, split into a 6' x 6' "control room" and a 6' x 6' "live room"... :) :shock: :!: :lol: Hence, my comments... Oh yeah, and they had 6 foot ceilings, too. :shot: And both speakers on a shelf, tight up against one wall, in a corner... He actually had a link to some photos. Wish you could have seen it! Designing a LESS functional studio would actually be really, really hard to do. - Stuart -
