Ok, I record and mix in this same room.
The room Im using (sorry no pics, I'll describe though), it's 10 ' x 12 ' x 7 ft ht. . . So the ceiling is very low. On one side of the room the top 3 ft of the wall goes back an additional 4 or 5 ft across the whole ten foot span......... So picture a wall with an empty shelf built back into the top part of the wall, thats what your looking at. In one Corner there is a closet I can open and its about 3 ft of additional depth ceiling to floor... So thats 3 corners with additional depth, one of them from ceiling to floor (maybe Ideal for bass traps without decreasing my already too small dimensions ?).
I plan to treat the room using 2" thick, some parts 4" inch thick, roxul rockboard 60 (similar properties to OC705 but half the price) wrapped in some kind of fabric and with a wooden built frame. (plenty of plans on the internet)
I also plan on buiding between 6 bass traps, *probably between 4 and 6" r60, 4 of them for corners and 2 for the back wall. (does that sound about right?)
my questions are, Say my vocals are coming from one corner facing outward toward the room, where are the optimal places to put the 2" inch think panels and where to put the 4" ones? Should I leave the rest of the room (the non paneled part) bare and reflective? Any Idea's on the ceiling considering its low height? I heard about a program, and a device used to measure problem area's in your room, how does this program work?
Oh if it matters the floor is cement and the ceiling is wood panneled, the walls are wood panneled to.
