The walls and the ceiling are drywall. The floor is carpet (I know it's a no-no but that was the only practical solution for my situation). There are no windows (actually there are 2 small windows but they are covered by removable covers made of plywood). Oh... and it's painted light green.  |
If the place is exactly square it could be a bit of a problem, being irregular
can help as long as you can achieve some sort of symmetry up front. The
ceiling is pretty low.
Are you just mixing at a desk or do you need to record vocals/voice or any
acoustic instruments ? Drums ? What kind of budget do you have for your
treatment ?
A word of caution regarding all the suggestions you'll get to add more and
more absorption. It may make your place sound worse. With no treatment
there are a lot of reflections that can fill in nulls and cover up problems. For
example, if you remove all the reflections you may end up with some huge
nulls that you can then do nothing about. I suggest you go slow and get
used to each treatment you add to see if it helps or not.
Can you provide some sort of plan or photo of your space ?
