I had the good fortune of having a 13'x16' room for quite a while for my home studio. I built 2'x4'x4" Roxul based corner traps and 18"x4'x4" traps to put on the angles between the walls and ceiling. I also had some 2" thick wall hangers of various sizes around the room. I really learned the room and was very pleased with the mixes I achieved with that setup.
BUT times change and it looks like my new room will be smaller; about 10'x11'. I'm going to try to downsize my setup so I can get by with a smaller desk and try to store more stuff in the closet than on shelves in the room, but I realize that I'll lose a lot of space with 2' wide traps in the corners.
SO my question: if I rebuild the corner traps to be 1'x4'x4", would they still have a positive effect? It would greatly help the room feel "less small" if I reduced the amount of space taken up by traps, but of course I realize there will be a trade off. But does a 1' wide corner trap do enough to be worth while?
Thanks!
