Hello Everyone!
After not being able to build a studio from ground up I decided to set up my equipment in my bedroom to record and mix my productions.
It has been a fun puzzle figuring out where to put everything in this space!
I am more concerned with removing flutter echo and adding clarity to my recordings than getting perfect mixing conditions as I can always send tracks out to get mastered if I really want to, although I will set the space to make my mixes as balanced as possible
It is a small space with some restrictions and I wanted to fish out for suggestions on setup and treatment as I believe it will probably need a fair amount of it. I am willing to invest as much as I need to make this a workable recording space.
The space is roughly 9 1/2' x 11' x 7 1/6' with a 1' bump in for the door the the left of the wall my production station is situated and a 48"x20"x71" closet on the right (See drawing for better dimensions)
I am planning to put a large panel diffuser against the wall above the workstation and adding sound absorbers on the closet doors wall by bed and dragon
Restrictions:
-No covering the dragon - I might be able to get away with a bass trap in the upper corner that snaps on. I can put one behind my chair. Panels will have to go next to the head and down towards door
-Speakers can't really come out anymore due to door. I might be able to move them out an inch or two
Also I thought about putting an acoustic panel on the main door but that would bump the speak even more and those adams were expensive!
-Nothing on the ceiling
-Ascetically pleasing - I sleep in here so don't want it too crowded. I will only be using colorful panels and was thinking of a nice block wood diffuser
Questions:
-Diffuser? Acoustic Panels? Traps? What is going to be the most effective?
-Treatment placement in general; Should I worry about the corners by either closet door? what about the space above the white closet? What about the back window - Is there a way to manage the first reflection on that small space?
-Is there a better way to set up my speakers besides moving them out further?
Thank you so much for any suggestions!
This has been a fun project and I will keep you all posted on it's progress!
