Hello
I'm starting the building of my new studio, have done some plans.
The space is not huge, 60meters square so i think i won't do separate live and control rooms, just one main room for mixing AND recording, and 2 smaller booths, one for drums and one for vocals for instance.
Here's a plan of the studio with the new double walls.
My question is : how should i treat the rear wall (down side of the plan), which is not flat as it is, there's many corners.. I don't want to lose to much space of course. But i guess it needs some treatment because the console and speakers will be close to that wall.
Any advise welcome.
Thanks
Joakim
Rear wall treatment in a control/live room

With more creativity you should come up with a plan that doesnt have those weird surfaces at the back wall. Even tho, you could also use that space for extra absorption /hangers
Your place doesnt seem small at all. 60m2 is a lot of space for a nice control room, and a multipurpose recording room. You could make it somehow live sounding, and then put gobos for vocal recordings
And finally, please read the forum rules, There are several people who wont help you if you dont follow these basic steps, like showing your location ( i didnt understand anyting on your plan )
Ok, sorry, i added my location, i'm building this studio in Paris, that's why the plan is mostly in French.
Here's a new version.
Like you suggested, i also thought of putting hangers in the back (orange on the plan).
Indeed i would like it to be live sounding, but not to much at the back of the room where the console sits, so i'm planning to treat the wall with insulation covered with cloth in that area (brown double walls on the plan).
thanks

If you plan to do serious recordings in there your mixing position wont work much. Have you read about this subject?
If not, please do
Thanks for the reply.
What do you mean? I tried to search about mixing position issues on the forum but didn't find an answer to my questions...
Is the console (and speakers) too close from the rear wall, too far from the front row?
Any help would be much appreciated because the construction work will start very soon.
And yes, it's meant to be used for very serious mixing.
thx
PS : to jbassino, by the way, i'm sometimes working with that band from Chile called Panico, maybe you know them..
