I’ve been given the opportunity to turn this green room into a mixing room for orchestral film score production, but is it too big to acoustically treat?
- the room is exactly 325sqft
- the main desk, monitors, etc. will be placed in the rooms 'pocket' area where the giraffe is in.
- the other half of the room will act as my bedroom to help fill the space (just a dresser, queen bed, writing desk)
- all live recordings will be done in a separate room dedicated for that purpose.
- disregard all current items occupying the room in the pics.
- I have money for the acoustic treating items (panels, rigid foams, bass traps)(some 12x12’ carpet mats for floor?)
Can the room actually be fixed? I’ll be doing serious work inside of it, I don’t want it to be ‘meh’, I want it right, or at least decently okay. If the green room is too big I can also run a thick curtain across the front of the ‘pocket’ area to reduce the space I’ll be working in, but I would really prefer to not. I’ve also considered doing a 5.1 monitor setup but wasn’t sure if it would be unwise in this room.
So, what treatment items would you use to treat the green room room, how much of it, and generally wear would you put it?? would you recommend me placing the studio items/ furniture where ive suggested??
the sketch is in exact proporsion to all the measurments. I should mention the floors are wood, but I figure a couple 12×12 rug matts will fix that. I felt the bed would work best where it is for dampening that corner of the room, but it doesn't matter please let me know.
Alternatively, there is this smaller blue room I can put only the studio in, if the green room truly cannot work. I know it would be easier to do the blue room, but it’s above a dinning room and the sound would travel through the floor at higher levels. So I really want to try and make the green room (above garage) work. –disregard all objects in blue room pic-
