Hi. I'm moving my studio into a house and I have two room available to me for my new studio. Neither are very good. One is a typical square bedroom, but decent size, 14'x~13'x~9'. The other is a larger bedroom with more square feet and cubic feed due to a vaulted ceiling but a really weird geometry. Both rooms are carpeted and I don't have funds to change it so I was thinking to layout qty 3 4'x8'x3/4" pieces of MDF and covering that with a 8'x12' piece of vinyl floor remnant. I have some acoustic treatments in my current room I'll move with but for the most part it is lots of traps with OC703.

I'm assuming the room with the vaulted ceiling/bigger volume is better. Is this correct? Which room would be better?

Carpet is not a problem. The Mass of each boundary matters. Concrete walls reflect LF, plasterboard stud partitions absorb it a bit. Overall guessing is not really useful. I recommend placing your speakers in the potential locations and take acoustic measurements.

How to add REW measurements? Max file size is 3MB but files are 6 & 7.5MB respectively...
zip them? or store them on your google or onedrive and share them via a link
