Hi all, It's been a while since my last post here. I been reading feverishly trying to get all the details worked out for this, my third studio attempt. I wish this kind of resource was available then. My experience has been earned the hard way, lots of mistakes. I hope to get this one right. I attached some pics for reference feel free to rip them apart to your hearts content, providing you can offer a positive alternative. I live in a secluded area in the high desert, but my wife and I have a ministry to neglected/abused children so I have 10 kids wandering around, so much for my natually quiet surroundings. Please excuse my drawings the design program I have is ancient and wouldn't let me draw splayed walls. Control Room dimensions are 17'4 x 24'7" ceiling slopes 14' high side 8' low side. Tracking rm dimensions are 21'x 23' with a little nook where the washer dryer currently reside. The wall with the lines through it represents (box in a box) type construction, these wall don't come into contact with the existing walls, nor does the ceiling joist connected to them. I'm good on how to provide good isolation etc.. thanks to you guy's-- thanks. I've got a few questions. First-- My Cr ceiling slopes the wrong way for my mix position. The ceiling slopes the width of the room, my mix position the length. I designed these bass trap/sofits that go around the room, These are covered by 1/4" clear pine ply and sealed. They will contain the largest flexable ducting I can fit (hvac) and stuffed with mineral wool. The angle of these trap/sofits is about 25deg. From my mix position will this angle cure most of the symetry problems I have, In directing waves away from the mix position. The ceiling is designed to gobble -up any reflections since the floors are wood. Any ideas? I hope I'm clear. second question- for good isolation I'm not suppose to have any hard connection between layers, in this case walls. Look at my CR drawing at the door leading to the lounge. I have a no-connect splayed wall, then no-connect (box in a box) wall, and then the existing wall (also no-connect). How do I finish this without hard connection so it will be and look right and look finished ? I was thinking high density upolstery foam ? I just don't know. Your help with this would be awesome. I've got alot of places with this same problem- doors and the back control rm wall. The back CR wall and all splayed walls are sealed in the back by double layer sheetrock 5/8" and 1/2" Built in 4' sections roxul rht-40 following John's plans, some will be slats some will be cloth covered. The back CR wall cloth with hangers in the gaps. Third I would really be greatfull for any dialog regarding my design, how to do it better, way's to improve it. just let me know what else you need for background info. I'll provide it pronto. By the way my occupation involves consulting with general/electrical contractors on technology wiring for commercial buildings, security,network, automated lighting, A/V, etc... so I pretty hip to what's up with that end of things, now and future. If I can help with that end of things for anyone else just let me know. God Bless, David

David - your pictures didn't appear to load properly so I retrieved these two pics from the files - I hope they are yours :) If so - my first comment would be that you have the angle of your long resonator reversed - it should angle the other way. cheers john
Those are pics of mine. I posted them about 6-8 month ago. A first attempt at posting to your site. The pics included in this thread are several generations later. I had the same problem with those old pics. The pics are 700px wide jpg's as you specify. I'll post them again in my original post. thanks David
