Hello hello hello.
So I just moved house and my new studio is now also the spare bedroom. It is 3.9m x 3.5m x 2.44m high. There are some pics below (also showing off my new Vox Night Train 15W amp head, Egnater Tweaker 1x12 cab and Fender '52 Reissue Telecaster!). I've read lots and lots of stuff about acoustic treatment and want to know if I'm on the right track.
From what I understand, I'm going to need a panel above me (as I'm sitting at the mixing position), to my left and to my right at the first reflection points (using a spot of trigonometry to work out where best). Then, I need to attack the corners behind me (vertical corners between the back and side walls and also the horizontal corner between the ceiling and back wall). The large window is directly behind me. Is it best to have a portable panel I can place on the window sill when I'm mixing?
I'm not sure on what to use - I'm in the UK and think this is the right stuff here. Is this correct? Do I want 2", 4" or a mix of both. Should I be using a different material for bass traps and broadband absorption - I seem to see conflicting info on all this???
To be completely honest, I really can't imagine it making much difference to me at my stage in this newish hobby of mine, but you guys go on about the importance of this so much, that I'm willing to trust in it and go ahead and build some.
Thanks muchly.
