Ideas about optimize my homestudio

Post by Kir For Pleasure »

In shame im writing this thread but i have searched the forum for answears its true :wink:

My biggest problem in understanding how to optimize the acoustic in my controllroom without tearing the hole room apart and rebuild it again is the angled wall/roof, the room is on the second floor (rebuilt attic) in a old timberhouse. What do you think they do to the acoustic ?

i have done some outlines of the room you can watch and you are more than welcome to comment :shock:

Kir,

I didn't see any specific questions, so here's my general advice for room treatment:

* Bass traps in as many corners as you can manage, including the wall-ceiling corners.

* Mid/high frequency absorption at the first reflection points on the side walls and ceiling.

* Some additional amount of mid/high absorption on any large areas of bare parallel surfaces, such as opposing walls or the ceiling if the floor is reflective.

Welcome Kir! Sweden in da hizzouse.

Your overhead looks good. Attached is more or less what I would do with the profile.

It would depend also on how "dead" you want it.

I meant that your overhead drawing view placement looks good. But the profile view, the one I posted, I would do differently.

I can do a "not to scale" mock up in sketchup and post a photo if you like.
