Hello Everyone,
I've been hanging around these forums for quite some time now, but I normally just read through topics because I have very little real information to contribute and most questions can be answered using the search.....but I think I finally a question specific enough to warrant a post!
I feel fortunate to be able to have found a large warehouse space where I can make a whole bunch of noise whenever I want (yay!). Unfortunately, the room also happens to sound like a large warehouse space. I would like to one day be able to use this space for mixing and recording. Mixing is my primary concern because I can always go out to a local studio to get some nice recording done, but I like to do my own mixing, in my own space.
I've posted a picture of the space as well as a rough sketch of how the room is currently laid out. It is essentially a 37'x23'x12' rectangle with a little extra nook on the northwest corner. The east and west wall are drywall. The north wall is brick and the south wall is both brick and drywall. The ceiling is exposed wood.
Currently my primary concern is knocking down some of the reverb. The room has a pretty huge reverb to it and I doubt that I could get anything mixed properly in the room because of it. Would making some panels out of OC703 help to take care of this? If so, how many would be necessary and how do you determine placement? Are there better solutions than 703 absorption panels for this situation?
Any and all help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
