Help! 2 rectangular rooms, halfway there already.

Howdy People, Ok, pretty basic questions i think but i need some advice. I am in the middle of treating my two new rooms and i need some help. I'ts one control and one live area, which are not very big (as you can see by the skp drawings) and it's the size of the rooms that makes me a bit confused about what to do with them, especially the live room. So here we go, this is where i'm at: 1. the Control room I have put basstraps al'a superchunk in every corner. the wall behind the speakers is covered with 6" of glasfiber with a 5cm air gap. the whole square patch of ceiling above the speakers and mixposition is covered with 4" panels. the wall behind the mixposition have been angled to create a machineroom behind it. This will help improve the noisefloor and ventilation in the control room and hopefully reduce standing waves. This will also be covered with 2" or 4" glasfiber. But i'm not completely sure what to do with the early reflections coming from the sidewalls. I want to keep them pretty "hard" in order to preserve the hi frequencies in the room. So my 2 options are: angled plywood at the reflection points as you can see in my skp nr1, or building more of a sayer cind of wall as in my skp nr2. Right now it's leaning towards nr 2, but i'm glad to here your opinions. 2. The Live Room Superchunks in every corner, though not as big ones as in the control room. Two 4" basstrap panels in the ceiling between the "long walls". The rest of the ceiling will be covered with 4" panels and the floor will stay "hard" without any rugs. Now the big Q: What to do with the walls in a "liveroom" this size? It feels boring to completely absorbe it, though i don't know how i could get some good acoustics out of it either. What i need is a good starting point and a sensible plan. In my skp nr 1 is a plan to do a cind of checkerboard pattern with a mix of absorbtive and reflective surfaces throughout the room. In my skp nr 2 is a plan to build the "sayer walls" again troughout the room, placing them as to create nonparallel walls and preserve the acoustics of the room instead of absorb it. Right now i like the idea of nr 2 but the Q is what you think =) And please excuse my lack of sketchup ability (and my blabbing english) Yours sincerely Sören Hjalmarsson

Sören, My vote is for the Sayers style slant traps. - In both rooms. suggestion; the corner trap at the bottom of the control room in the nook... just make it rectangular to enclose the whole nook there. - not triangular. - It will be more efficient. cheers, John

Hi John, I just saw this post as i have been busy with the guys over at GS. =) Yes, i think i will go with the Sayer slant traps for the live room. But for the control room... do you think that the slant walls is better than the suggestion i got from Dykstraster yesterday, with the more "standard" absorbtion panels at the reflection points? Or did you simply mean it's a better alterative than the angled plywood in my skp nr 1? Not quite sure what you meant in the nook... did you mean something like Dykstraster did for me, engulfing the angled machine room wall as much as possible? Cheers Sören
