Thread Starter | Help with treating odd mix room
I have a room shaped like this and don't know how to approach treating it. I've read up on treating rectangular rooms and have a bunch of bass traps and Auralex foam wedges, but I haven't seen a room like this treated before. Can you guys give me an idea on what to buy and where to start? Thanx! FYI Ceilings are 8ft, the walls in the mix area are 9ft apart, and the length of the whole room is about 32ft. Attached is a rough diagram of the room.

| Gear addict | I'm no expert, but it would make sense to me to move to the bottom right section of the room (fewer doors, more square, more room) and perhaps partition it off. I would think you will need to bass traps in all the corners regardless though; I would have my desk face south, but not smack against the wall; have 3' or so between the wall and the back of the speakers. Oh and I would crop that image btw. |

Get an analysis from Auralex.....I did it and it helped my room Personalized Room Analysis | Sweetwater.com Quick tips for mixing I recently learned and did wonders for me.... ...Mix at low volume (so you could have a conversation say). The quieter you mix the less your room will be a problem. ...Check the balance of your mix at super low volume, I mean bearly audible....then if an instrument is too loud or too quiet it will stick out or disappear. ...Mix in mono (switch back and forth...but always check in mono as you go along I got these tips from 1- therecordingrevolution.com and 2-homestudiocorner.com Hope it helps. |

Thread Starter | I probably should have mentioned that this is a bedroom, and the bigger part of the room is where the bed, drawers, and tv is, etc...

Yea, I've put bass traps up. Here are some pics of my right wall 'treatment' which is treated the same as the left wall. Good? Bad? Thanks. BTW, I will crop that earlier image tonite and also consult Auralex as suggested.

The only way you are going to know what is going on is if you test the room. Here is a free program. REW - Room EQ Wizard Home Page
