Hello all
first post here although I have been lurking for a while whilst the wooden cabin on our roof is being built. Well, it is almost complete now (please see photo attached) and I have a few questions about how to treat it. I have got some ideas from reading the various posts but there are some odd features of my cabin/studio so inevitably I still have some queries. I would be very grateful for any advice!
OK, so first off, the photo is taken having just walked in the door, looking down longways. The cabin is about 18.5m2. The walls and roof are pine with layers of rockwool and more pine behind them. In theory my desk will go just to the left of the funny bit of wall that juts out into the centre, just left of centre (the bit with the window in it). There is actually about 2.5m in there, going back to the back wall which you cannot see in the photo. But the issue then would be that my monitors (which are nearfield monitors, Adam A7x to be precise) would be facing the wall on your right in the photo, ie they would not be going down the length of the room but across the width. Also, the roof slopes across the width so the speakers would be where the roof is lowest (wall at left in the photo, just before the bit that sticks out with the window) pointing to the wall where it is highest (wall at right in photo). I think maybe this is a bit of a narrow space for the speakers (even though they are nearfield and I am making electronic music using soft and hardware synths), as it is only about 2.5m wide.
Anyway, if anyone has any guidance or further questions which will help me get started on treating the room acoustically, I would be very appreciative!. Oh, one more thing, the floor you see is chipboard. Soon there will be a layer of parquet on top of that and, I am guessing, some strategically placed rugs!
Thanks a lot!
