Treating a Home Studio, Suggestions appreciated

speedy666 · 23rd July 2008, 01:31 PM

hey everyone...

i've just moved into a new house.
now i want to use one of the rooms as my home studio where i can do my own work while i'm not on the road, which is mainly containing mixing.

the room looks like this (all metric)

i would like to situate the desk (control 24) in the 'front' of the room facing the window (brilliant view) ^^

the height of the room is approx. 2.45m...the walls on the lower side of the plan are covered with wood the others are covered with plaster.
the floor is made of wood as well...

i'm sure i have to treat the corners with bass traps.
what else shall i consider in a room like this...

please give me some ideas and input as i'm new to treat a room acoustically...

btw, there's no need for acoustic isolation to the outside world --> no neighbours ;-)

thank you very very much for your help

Well besides the bass trapping you will want to treat the early reflection areas on the side walls and ceiling. Also treat the back wall with THICK absorption.
