I am starting acoustic treatment on my home recording studio. Room dimensions are 12' W, 20' L, with a sloped ceiling, from height 8'3" to 9'6" at the other end. My workstation sits against one of the 12' walls where the 8'3" ceiling is. (I read that the long wall is more ideal but this is what it is).
I built 6 rockwool panels, 2'x4' @ 4". I am planning placement.
I did the "mirror technique" to locate the first reflections lateral to the workstation. My questions:
--Are the first reflections so significant that I should place 2 panels side by side (essentially creating a 4'x4' panel) at this first reflection on the side walls, or would it be better to space these panels further apart and place the second one further back?
--For the remaining 2 panels- with a room of this length, is it better to place them against the back wall for those reflections, or angle them in the corners behind my workstation (as bass traps are usually located)?
I plan on building more panels in the future but want to budget the 6 I have for the most useful locations first.
Thanks for your help.
