What would you do to treat this room?

kodaz · 12th May 2010

Hey guys,
Looking for some advice on a small room that I use to mix in. It doubles as my second bedroom when I'm at this house on weekends, so it unfortunately has to serve a duel purpose. I have not done any reflection tests or anything yet because a few threads said to do it after you treat the room. Initally I thought about some absorption right on that back wall because it's such a small room. I was also going to put in some panels similar to what Shaman built on the sticky. I'll probably build anything I need myself, but since I'm so new to this science I thought I'd ask what your first point of call would be?

Cheers

im new at this too but ill try and give some advice.

-move your desk against the wall with the window
-install 2" panels at the first reflection points (currently the wall your desk is against now, and the wall behind your desk as it is now) - and on the ceiling
-bass traps in all corners / superchunks in corners.

it's a small room so you'll need ridiculous amounts of bass trapping

Just too add I would also put THICK absorption on the back wall. See the following as a guide for the placement.

Thanks for the reading. Very useful. In regards to the absorption on the immediate back wall, how thick does that need to be?
