realtrap advice

maestro · 14th January 2008, 12:14 AM

My mixing room (bedroom in my house!) is 11ft x 10.5ft with height of 8.25ft. I have a small curtained window to my right (maybe room to put a corner trap between wall and floor) and a door behind me in the left corner (no room to put any type of corner trap there) as I sit in front of my Genelec 1029a monitors (no subwoofer . . . yet!?).

I want to buy some realtraps (I’m in Ireland. Best place to order?)

My main question. If money were no object how do I best acoustically treat the room (absorption, diffusion?)

Thanks

We ship all over the world all the time. Sales stuff is best handled by email, so email me with your name and address and I'll be glad to work up a specific proposal for you.

That's a pretty small room, so you need as much corner bass trapping as you can possibly manage. If money is no object, our near model diffusors lining the rear wall behind you is a great choice. When you email us we'll be glad to go over the various bass trapping options with you.

I may have another option. I could record and mix in the same room perhaps and its size is 14.66 x 13 feet with an 8 foot ceiling.

That room has a 6ft 6inch grand piano in it and is carpeted.

i would probably have to look out a large window as i mix and there would be double doors behind me.

Would it be better for me to invest in acoustic treatment for that room instead.
