Small mixing room treatment
Posted: Thu Oct 31, 2013 12:04 pm
Hi everyone!
I am a producer from Athens Greece,and i would like to apply acoustic treatment for better mixing-mastering purposes.
I am not going to record anything,and i don't have neighbors problems
.
I want just to treat my room and reduce the effects of bass problems,flutter echo and etc .
Because my room is too small i face strange bass problems.
I know that it is impossible to create the "perfect" place in my room,so i just want to reduce problems.
Room specifications (First 3 pictures)
L=3.50 m
W=2.60 m
H=2.80 m
-Carpet on the floor
-Right wall is plasterboard (side where door is placed),the others drywalls.
So i was thinking of
-placing bass traps covering 3 corners (at window corner ,bass trap on a stand)
placing absorption panels
-two at 1st reflection spots,right and left
-one behind speakers,one at the back wall,and one at the 2nd reflection point.(Only on the left)
Maybe and one panel for ceiling.
Something like that. (see pictures 4-5-6)
So will this treatment get things sound better?
First step of course is to measure with REW my current listening spot,and take out the graphs to face the problem with numbers.
Also ,do i have to place speakers on stands,and not on the desk?Is this a rule?
Budget is limited so i am going the DIY way!
Thanks in advance!
Best regards Nick
