both those rooms are very narrow, you're lookin at less that 3 metres are you looking at just doing a control room? also check out www.johnlsayers.com |

Aaron, > length 20' 6" < That's my choice. When all else is equal, having the rear wall behind you as far back as possible is always better. And plan for as much bass trapping as you can possibly manage. --Ethan

hey, with 7' ceilings you're in danger of head end ringing (google that if you need more info). in short, make sure your monitors and ears are not exactly halfway between floor and ceiling. gregoire del ubk . |

Fuzz the heck out of the ceiling, it's just too low to do you any good. Oh, and the walls too... but ceiling first.

So what we are looking at is 2.07m (W) x 6.27m (L) x 2.10m (H) Firstly that ceiling, is very low, you are gonna run into trouble there, especially if these figures are before you build in. I'll let Ethan chime in here. |
