Mixdown room

Hello everybody, my Name is Michael from Germany (Ulm). Now the Time has come to do my Home Mixing room a little Renovation. I will share it with you and hope to get some tips and tricks. On the Pictures you can see now what i have, sorry about the mess I'm really in the renovating phase and i wanna paint soon. On the Sketchup file u can see the measurements of my room. Something about me: I worked 15 years as a live Engineer here in Germany. Now i become some Problems with my back. I Also Play Guitars Drums and Bass. Now i am 33 and will get into the recording Mixdown stuff maybe to make a living from this in the future. Now i am thinking i will put some round Basstraps in the corners i will make it by myself with foam but this is a future project. My problems now are to make a basic layout for the room with the furniture. My english is not so good so i have too apologize. Maybee some of you can help me and refresh my mind with some ideas! What will you doo in this Scenario? Or i need a Starting point! Wenn you need any Informations please ask!

Hi there "mike1902", and welcome to the forum! :) With a room that shape, the only real option you have is to set up the desk facing the other way, towards the angled ceiling/wall with the window in it. You will need large bass traps in that room, and a lot of absorption on the rear wall. You are not the first person to use a room like this! So it can be done. Here are some links to threads where other people had similar shape rooms: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=17567 viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17918 viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17137 So start by reading through those threads, (especially the last one), then turn your room around to face the other way, and do a test with REW to see where your problems are. Then based on that we can help you decide on how to treat the room.

Now i am thinking i will put some round Basstraps in the corners i will make it by myself with foam but this is a future project.

For a room like that, I would use superchunk style bass traps, not round ones. That room will need a LOT of bass trapping, and superchunks are the best way to do that. - Stuart -

Hello Stuart, thanks for your welcome words. Last week i was very busy sorting out my stuff and clean up and Paint. I ordered a Mikrofon for the measurements so i have to wait until it is here. In the Time Below i do some fun Measurments with a cards mic just to get in the Software. Thanks for the Links I've reading a lot. Now i Turned to the opposite wall with the angled surface. Thats was the Starting Point that i needed :-) SO wenn i get the Mic i will measure soon. I thought wenn i was placing my big wardrobe behind the listening position maybe i can use it as an reflector with books. And inside/ behind the books i will put an Isolation in with Basotec or other damping materials. Maybee a good or a not so good solution? This week i will put some pictures on and new drawings from Sketchup what i wanna do or think i wanna do! Thanks for all! Greetings Mike. Sorry for my worst English i hope u can understand me :-) And i Hope to get it better! :-) :shot:
