Bedroom Panelling!

victoryaloy · 5th April 2010

So.. this is a rough estimate of my room.. a little over 12'x10'
-The plants are where i plan to put my monitors

-My door opens the other way
-any my window slides(it doesn't open in)
-There is also a ceiling fan about right in the middle

I'm away at college so I called my mom and had her give me dementions.. but i'm pretty sure its a little bigger both ways.

I'm planning on using shaman's idea(or at least something similar) and getting the best sound I can for mixing!

I'm not to concerned with recording because the majority of my stuff will be DnB, Trance, electro/pop. And i'm not going to use acoustic instruments much!

Any suggestion?

P.S. an alternative would be to put everything in the basement(which i have been doing) with cement walls and an unfinished ceiling, but I know I'll be less motivated if I'm hidden away in the basement all day..
But if its worth it I'd be up for it!

Edit: Maybe this is the wrong place! If so.. I apologize in advance!

I would flip it to put the bed where the desk is. It will give you better symmetry left and right. See the following for layout of acoustics.

Thanks for the advice.

I was thinking acoustic panels:
-one behind each monitor
-Two to the left and right
-Two on the ceiling
-and 2, 3 or 4 on the opposite side
??
Does that seem alright?
I'm not going for a fully professional sound, but something decent would be nice.

Any ideas for where to put bass traps?

Also my basement it just a huge open space and I'd be able to use a corner(the size being a little bigger than my bedroom) of the basement to.. if that'd be better!

Thanks again!

I was thinking I thinking maybe i could use this stuff:
Owens Corning R-13 Kraft 15 In. x 32 Ft. x 3.5 In. Mini Continuous Roll, 40 Sq. Ft. - 139697 at The Home Depot

Its all i could seem to find at Home Depot.
So far I'm thinking..
-Triangle basstraps in the 3 corners.. double up on the stuff above
-Two smaller ones on the ceiling
-Two to each side
-and two in the back
??

How does that sound?
I'm a broke college kid so I can't do much!
But i want to get the most out of what i can do!

also what about the corner by the door?
