Hi, I want to convert one room in my studio for a drum booth, to be able to get great insulation when recording a band together, the room is 4.5mx5m celling is slanted starting from 3m (actual ceiling) to ca. 3.2m. can it be done without sounding boxy? should I aim to make it dead sounding?more hard wood reflecting/material? how should I build the floor for maximum isolation with the other room (which has a floating floor) and especially the neighbours under? a plan of the studio attached thanks a lot

that looks nice and spacious. i'd probably err on the side of making it more lively by adding more broadband slat resonators and but keep the ceiling somewhat/slightly more absorptive since you have a wooden floor (in the design). if its too live for a particular track you could cover the slats with some heavy drapes to cut the highs, or use some free standing absorbers.
I need help :?
