Hey all,
I've got a blank room that is 13 x 17 x 8. There is one door on each 17' wall dead center (maybe 35" with frames). This room will be used solely for tracking (drums, guitar, bass, vocals. Keys too, but those will be direct out to the interface). I don't foresee my equipment changing much, so I will be working with a static placement of all my gear (and I'm currently flexible-ish on positioning if it matters).
I bought 48 1" x 12" x 12" acoustic panels to start with (this was actually for a previous room but never used), and plan to put in simple bass traps in all corners (low and high? all the way up? not sure here either). Is there a general rule of thumb I can follow placing panels since this is just for tracking? I'll have a (roughly) 3' x 3' x 3' drum set (maybe we just call the whole space 5' x 7', that's the rug size under it) and a couple of 30" x 30" cabs. I would like to have one of the 13' walls be the home for all my guitars, maybe hung - would this be a bad idea in favor of proper panels?
Apologies if I did not provide enough information, and thanks in advance for any help!
