Do you have any plans (ideas) now for acoustics? You got a lot going on and not sure if there is enough room to type out everything that might need done.

If you plan on buying the acoustics I would HIGHLY recommend getting with the company and going through every room one by one. There are general things you can do like bass trapping, panels for reflections and diffusion, but I think you need a pro to work you though each room and do it right.

We don't have money enough to have a guy come in and work that out with us, if that's what you mean. We probably only have like 1.5 to 2k to spend on acoustic treatment in this initial phase. If you meant there's not enough room in the picture I attached, maybe someone could just blow it up like 4-6x the size for more room.

I was thinking maybe bass traps in at least 2 corners of the live room, to hopefully kind of help curb some of the room modes what with the near squareness of the room and all. And maybe some diffusors since there is some pretty audible flutter echo at(i'm guessing) 2k-ish, from the parallel walls.

I don't really enough about acoustics to know what else to get, or where to place things. I was hoping to get some help on here.
