Acoustic treatment help!

Can you post the entire layout of your room? I'm going to assume your position isn't the best it could be.

Thanks, Alex. I'm sure it's not ideal, but i need to make it the best it can be. What would you do to that crazy ceiling above me?

Can you draw a layout with dimensions? Even a hand sketch scanned or MS paint would be fine. Try to mark the height of the room and the two positions that it reaches the min and max.

Thanks again, Alex. I'll try to get that tonight.

Sorry I was slow in posting; small medical complication.

Here is a better layout of the room. I'm sure a better spot for the mixing desk would be along the 12' wall. I've tried this before and the problem is that I'm on the second floor and the door opens into a vaulted ceiling den that acts as a megaphone into the room. I hear a lot of noise coming from the rest of the house. The end of the room shields me from a lot of that. Thanks for your help.

Sorry, I didn't realize you had already posted your layout! Though the added dimensions do help.

This does look like a tricky area, doesn't seem to be really a good spot at all.

To answer your questions though, the cloud doesn't have to be hung flat. You can hang it with the same angle the ceiling has since you don't have much space above you (at least, not on the left side). I would recommend trapping as much corner area around there as possible! Even the weird angled ceiling to front wall corners!

I really appreciate your assistance, Alex. I received my insulation yesterday, so I"ll hopefully get started this weekend. I'll share some pics when I'm finished. Thanks, all.

Okay; so I finally finished...at least what I'll do for now. I've attached a couple of pics; mixing desk and the wall directly behind me. Thanks for all of your help. It sounds much better.

I'm about to post my latest song in the mixing clinic if anyone wants to listen. Thanks again!!
