Dont know if anyone has noticed but i havent posted in a while... I have a rather small room at my drummers house that i would like to use for recording... Its not he best room but 90% of being an audio engineer is making what you have work. It has almost zero outside noise since its in the middle of the second floor with no windows and one door that leads to a tiney almost closet room that connects it to the rest of the house. It has a thick carpet floor and the room has pretty good acoustics overall but the ceiling is super steep/slanted so there are some pretty weird spots scattered around the room. We would mostly be recording miced guitar and bass amps as well as a pretty big drum set. I have a much better space to record vocals and acoustic guitar but its definatley not practicle for a whole band or even a drum set.
1) I know you guys love to answer with questions so my first question is what should i be thinking and asking myself when treating a room for the first time?
2) how do i best fix the problem of the ceiling without filling it with foam? Foam is expensive and i cant afford to fill the whole gap with foam.
3) also i noticed all the different petterns that foam comes in (wedge, pyramid, egg carton, wave, grid, spade). What are the pros and cons of each pattern?
i know you guys also love to bring up obstacles that you can forsee happening and help prevent them so here goes.
4) My last question is what other suggestions do you guys have to improve my recording space that i may have not mentioned?
Ive never had any experience treating a room myself before and i expect there to be some roadblocks. but i have been around room treaters and done a little research so i know a little about what to watchout for. Thanks in advance for any help and i hope to get some good answers!!!
