home studio 3m X 3.7m

Hi, I want to build a studio in one of my rooms , My room is 3m X 3.7m . and I have 2 windows one in the "north" wall and the other is in the "west" wall. both are 1.28m X 1m and 1m above the flloor. I use 2 nearfield monitors . I would realy appreciate some advices about where to place absorvers , which kind of absorbers should I use , and how much . also I would like to know what kind of carpet should I buy in order to minimize the bass going to my neighbours ( I am top floor ). Thanks alot Sidon

welcome Sidon - could you please update your profile to let us know where you are from, you could be in Iceland for all we know. can you also give a drawing of your room and a description of what you want to do in it ;) cheers john

Hi I am from Israel And I am building this studio for making mostly electronic music using My pc, also I will do some recordings . I am a specialy concern about the neighbours/spouse noise problem since I work at night . I have attached my stuido scheme. thanks, Sid

Sid - carpet will not stop the noise getting to your neighbours downstairs. the only way to stop it is to float a room within a room. i.e. build a new floor on your existing floor and build a new set of walls detatched from the original walls. How much ceiling height do you have ? cheers john

Hi John , Thanks for answering. My ceiling is 2.8m . I know that the carpet will not stop the noise , I only want something to reduce it . I will not build a floating room now because this is a renetd place , and I dont know how long will we stay here. So I guess I want your advice of what best I can do in this room acoutic wise. Regards, Sid

Hi, Some one here told me to put 17cm absorbers all around the room. what do you think about this, I actually would prefer the smaller ones so it will not take too much of my room size. regards, Sid
