| New room, a little different, need guidelines.
Hello,
first time post for me but have been reading the forums for a couple of years.
I recently had to move out of my studio and got a new space that I just moved into. It's a bit bigger than my last and is sort of a one big room but with a "glass-wall" making it 2 rooms (See attached pictures).
The dimensions of the whole room is 5,18 m (17 feet) * 9,22 m (30.25 feet).
Counting the "glass-wall" it's 5,18 m (17 feet) * 6,77 m (22.21 feet) for the bigger room which is going to be the control room.
The ceiling is 2,56 m (8.4 feet) in height, but has theese beams going through out the ceiling. (Again, see pictures).
Also, in the walls are what I think you call alcoves (?) going into the walls, but they are different at each wall.
In the back wall is a small kitchen, so to speak. (Again, see pictures).
So, my questions are:
How would you face the mixing position? Is it the 38% rule for the whole room or just the part cointained within the "glass-wall"?
Do the alcoves (?) make it a bad room?
Do I need to treat the glass in some way? Is it bad when it comes to acoustics?
Basically I just need to get up and running NOW, as this is my livelyhood and I got a lot of work going on. I have a budget of 15000-20000 sek (est. 3000 $) for acoustic treatment that I'm going to order next week, from Real Traps or GIK. Is this going to be enough to treat this space properly?
I think I have some more questions soon but I need to get some ideas for when I get there tomorrow.
Thank you all beforehand, I'm already indebted to gearslutz for all the great threads!
