I just though up an idea! I could hang 2' wide 4" deep traps off the ceiling around the perimeter of the control room in the front section with a 1" air gap on top. I would have all my gear under where these would be anyways so it's not like I would lose headspace there.
|
I would straddle 4" panels in the corners around the room. That would absorb A LOT more low end.

Then I could have the 2" stuff running down the middle all the way back on the ceiling.
|
That would work.

I'm thinking I wanna make the whole back wall a 12" thick broadband absorber and in the wall to wall corners build the biggest bass traps I can possible fit in them. Then put 2" traps at the early reflection points for the mix position and beside the couch.

Instead of frk can I use thick plastic like vapor barrier?

I have zero experience with that product so I can't help you there.

Should I use it on all the bass traps?
|
Yes anything in the corners

I'm also toying with the idea of stuffing the floor joists of the tracking room with about 6" of rockwool so the whole ceiling is a bass /broadband absorber covered with fabric. I already have a layer of 1/2" drywall attached to the subfloor between the joists. Would I get noticeable isolation doing this compared to what it would be like without anything in there and having the joists exposed?
|
I am not a iso guy, but if you put rockwool in the joists and cover that will fabric that will work well as a bass trap.

Would I would benefit from diffusion on the back wall of the control room or any parts of the tracking room?

Sure but you still would want 1 or 2 6" (or deeper) panels back there with the diffusion around it. As far as other places, it would work well anywhere behind the mix spot (ceiling, side walls, and back wall).
