Hey there,
Im finally converting my spare room (see:
Convert spare room for mixing - worth it?) and I got a question:
As mentioned in so many threads, too much absorption in a small room might result in a somewhat dull sounding room, mostly due to too much high frequency and not enough bass absorption. To avoid this, Ethan suggests on his FAQ to add small parts of reflective surfaces on some of the absorption panels to sort of recover some of the high frequencies.
I get that and I think this might be very important for my room (it has carpet as well). My question is: How much of this should be added and on which traps will this be the most efficient? And how should these reflective panels be placed? Is there a pattern or can they be random?
Currently I thought about adding reflective areas on the absorbers on the back wall and maybe one the ceiling but im really clueless.
Any tips for this?
Thanks for any help
