Acoustic Treatment Advice - 15' (L) x 9' (W) x 8' (H)

Hi guys, I'm about to install my composing/mixing room in my rental apartment. I'm located in Canada (Ottawa, Ontario). Reading all about the acoustics gives me a lot of confusion since there are some many point of views. So I guess I'd like to have another opinion from people who already did it! I've been doing a lot of research on how to properly acoustically treat my room. I've been looking at the main companies and now I'm more confused than ever. I got some feedback from the different companies but I don't know if they're trying to oversell and how much they're trust-worthy. I investigated the following companies: - primacoustic - gik acoustics - readytraps - real traps I attached a layout of my room. One of the difficulties, I think, is that I don't have much space on the front wall behind my desk and there are also 2 doors (balcony and entry) that are pretty close to the desk. The floor is made of hardwood. Reversing the layout is not an option since there is a closet on the rear wall that my wife needs access to (clothes are inside). Also, I'm moving from one apartment to the other every 1,2 years so I'd rather have something that I could use in similar rooms. My budget is around $1,500-$2,000 to start with. I think I'd rather buy pre-made panels rather than DIY unless it's really easy to do (I'm not very handy). Any recommendation is welcome!

Vincent - if you are just after treating the room as opposed to soundproofing the room I'd suggest you contact Ethan at RealTraps. he has a range of products that would suit your purpose. cheers john

Thanks john! You read my mind. I emailed Ethan two days ago. I'm waiting for his answer :) Have a nice weekend, - Vincent
