Microsoft Office Visio Professional works. Google Sketchup (free) takes more work but can do 3D and rendering using Kerythea.

its all about translation. if you can learn to mix in a small room and it translates reliably, then you're good. chances of that happening are very slim unless your main audience are people in small rooms with small speakers.

slacker ;) i agree with this arrangement but would add 2 more 2-4" absorbers on the sloped ceiling on each side of the mix desk and move the other pair down a bit just to break up the ceiling more. i'd also hang the center ceiling absorbers down as low as you can comfortable have them - 8" if...

on the back wall, i noticed a hard corner sticking out - you might consider covering that - maybe skitch the 2 panels on top of each over on an angle to cover that diffraction point. maybe put a panel on the back of the door as well since that counts as a flat wall when you have the door closed...

it is complex... in most of my designs, i include the option to build in a soffit (baffle) mount, but i generally prefer monitors on stands behind the console because it's more flexible in terms of angles and spacing and less prone to construction errors. that said, just sticking monitors on...

i think that Thomas was making the point that most speakers are designed to operate in free space (technically 4pi but in most cases really 2pi or pi) and that soffit mounting can exaggerate the response (and Thomas has been great in helping people sort through cross over issues for years now)...

right in the poly section of the MHoA ;)

Rick - its less "diffusion" and more like "scattering"... in a small room, where the listening proximity is close, diffusion wouldn't be my first choice. that said, the dead room thing is also not good (imho) so some reflections (preferably with appropriate time domains, spectral content, and...

if its the same type of absorbers you've made before, then i don't think its too much of a concern pointing in or out (the V). as far as diffusion - scattering - you'd generally put that in front of the traps so the frequencies not diffused/scattered will be absorbed. you could run vertical...

depends - if you're talking about a side wall, then no, if you're talking about the wall behind your mix position, then yes. you could have problems both due to short reflection times off the back wall, and asymmetrical response due to the side wall being closer to one side than the other. the...

nope. or more correctly, not necessarily. the problem is live drums are huge sound animals that are hard to cage... same for large bass amps, guitar amps, and opera singers... so you need to evaluate your needs to isolate vs. what your neighbors (if any) can tolerate before getting the police...

it might be best to just plan on building a decent isolation booth and using some panels and treatments to shape a control room. of course, a bunch of this depends on how much isolation you need from your neighbors (and how much they need from you), the construction of the building to support...

its the metric system ;-)

what measurements do you have on existing noise levels, vibrations, and existing isolation to determine the need for a floating floor? also, using commonly available construction materials, you should be able to achieve a reasonably high isolation level without floating unless you have...

i guess it depends on the material. what is it? ideally you want trapping on the corners of the room as well as to reduce the rear wall reflections when you have a short space.

i use rectangular rooms all the time :cool:

it may vent the condensate outside but it doesn't do an air exchange which is important for folks who need oxygen ;-) aeropac makes a simple and silent air exchanger product which just needs a single hole through the wall to work. http://www.acoustica.com.au/aeropac.html i think you can get...

actually i'd put the front monitors up closer to the soffits... but its a rough 10 minute sketch...

they're video edit/mix suites. surround sound suites are more complex to create than simple stereo mix rooms. the viewer (producer couch) is often higher in controls rooms to ensure field of view and also when using the larger monitors (typical in larger control rooms...) they are aligned...
