I just did abut the same thing with 703 and 705, and helped a friend do the same thing.

Here's my advice:

1) Deal with the problems. If you have an 8 foot ceiling, that will be the biggest problem. Deal also with the area around the drumset, and the monitors.

2) Make a lot of movable baffles. You'll find that experimentation is productive, and of course, production problems change each day. I just took those frames and added legs to get them up higher.

3) Do not under any circumstances overdamp the room. It just sounds dead.


4) 90% of the issues will be in the low end, and 705 works better in the low end - so you might want to consider 705. Its heavier by 5/3 - but it works better too esp when things get loud.

My recordings are WAY beter since the treatment,.
