Building a Studio

andytallman · 30th November 2009, 10:44 PM

Hey Guys,
I'm from Ontario Canada am moving to a different house in my region.
I've got all the gear I need for now and need to focus on acoustics and setup for the new room i'll be living in. I don't have much space, so I'd love advice as to how to best use the space i've got.
I'm looking for some suggestions for treating the room to get the best sound. It'll just be a small project studio, mostly electronic Virtual instruments with some vocals done over it. So the treatment is mostly for mixing.

Attached is a really rough "paint" sketch of the room. Note the slanted roof. If there is a way to do all of this without attaching things to the wall (might have fun convincing my landlord to let me put stuff up).

Thanks guys!

As much bass trapping as possible! See the following as a guide for acoustic product placement.

What products specifically and placement is recommended? Am I in a poor position for mixing? I know having a bedroom/studio isn't the best solution, but i've gotta make the best of the space i've got.

or to rephrase my actual question,
Where would I be placing these, and is there a good way to put them up without attaching them to the walls. I am not allowed to fix anything to the walls. I know that might not be ideal, but i need to make it work.
