studio in room with roof slopes?

Hi! I would love to have the opinions of all you pros out there - since i move into a new house, i'll have a 25 squaremeter room for creating my control room. i probably will record some overdubs there as well. at some point. the thing is, the room has roof slopes. 2 of them. and they are parallel. my knowledge in room acousitcs respectively room treatment is very basic. If it wasn't for the slopes, i would just have installed basstraps in the corners, killed reflections from the left, right and above my position and hung up a few acousitc modules to get rid of flutter echo. Of course i would have looked into keeping problems with room modes as low as possible. -->Is there any chance of getting a decent frequency response despite the roof slopes? and how would you achieve that?<-- I'm thankful for every hint or solution you could gave me! by the way, i would love to beeing an audio engineer profesionally, but i don't see myself achieving that in the next 2 years - though i'd love to do a few really good projects in this room and also charge. i know the room is far from ideal, but i'll try to retrieve the best possible. Cheers Chris

Hi Chris. Please read the forum rules for posting (click here). You seem to be missing a couple of things! :) Also, please post the actual SketchUp model (or a link to it), because the full situation is not clear from that one screen shot image. Photos of the actual room would help greatly too.

That would have been a start, but not sufficient by any means, even without a sloping ceiling. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "acousitc modules to get rid of flutter echo"?

Is there any chance of getting a decent frequency response despite the roof slopes? and how would you achieve that?

The sloping ceiling won't change the overall frequency response too much. What it WILL change is the modal response (to a certain extent), decay times, SBIR, and reflections. Those will all need dealing with to a much larger extent than for a plain rectangular room.

i know the room is far from ideal, but i'll try to retrieve the best possible.

It can be made reasonably good, yes. The biggest issues are related to ceiling height, angles your planned room layout and geometry, your specific speakers (make, model), desk, console and other gear, and most of all, your budget. - Stuart -

I'm really sorry for not sticking to the forum rules!! I've absolutely no experience with forums! After studying the rules, I will update my descriptions, pictures and sketchup models as you have requested. It could take me a while, but I'm really looking forward to getting your advices. I appreciate your efforts and helpfullness so much - it's incredibly amazing what you are doing!! Cheers Chris
