Bottom of the page is a good start; have you tried the search function and broused quite a bit? Steve

Yes I did browse and I have already read the tread you mention. But is that example the standard way to go or does it have to be adjusted to my spaces.

From what I read, the CR, Booth and recording space should not have the same treatment?

True; your CR should be deader than the live room, for example; if your live room has an RT60 of around .5 to 1 second, then the CR should have about half (or less) that - and yes, this will be "room specific" - not sure if you've seen this, it should help with calculations -

Don't worry about getting the low frequency RT down as low as the rest of the spectrum; it can be at least 1.5 x as long as the RT from 500 hZ and up without problems (Live room, NOT the CR) - in the CR, you want everything short enough so that you know you're hearing the RECORDING room ambience, not the CR. This is the reason for a deader CR than your Tracking rooms (Vox booths excluded; these also need to be pretty dead because their modes SUCK, even good ones)

HTH... Steve
