| A quick, relatively inexpensive way to get some bass trapping in a small space like that is to line pretty much the entire front wall with bales of acoustical weight fiberglass insulation. Stand them up on end and fill the whole front wall. Just leave them in the bags, the low frequencies won't see the plastic bags and you don't want fiberglass floating around the room. Then cover the ugliness with a heavy curtain. Watch out, though, that this doesn't push your mix position back into the very center of the room -- which is where you don't want to be.
You will likely need further trapping in the rear corners, too and there you can use some nicer looking foam or other commercial traps. But as others have posted, you're going to hear lots of "tub" in that space. As you continue to treat the room and run frequency sweeps you will be amazed how much bass trapping you need. When we built our test studio, we just kept pouring on the traps. |
