Hi! Pleased to meet you.
I'm so grateful to have found this forum. I'm trying to get a room ready (acoustic treatment -wise speaking) for my wife, and it's driving me nuts. She is a jazz singer and also plays both the piano and the guittar, so she needs a room to be able to record vocals and practise her piano.
The main issue with the room is that we have high ceilings (2,93 meters - 9,6 feet), two doors and two windows. I've tried covering up the walls with paintings and tapestries, and the windows with curtains, but it still echoes as if I were inside a cathedral...
I've read I should buy some bass traps for the top corners and acoustic panels for the walls to absord sound, but I'm not sure where to place them exactly. I was also thinking about covering up a wall (wall 4, with bookshelves around the door from the floor to the ceiling) to get some diffusion, but I don't know if that will work properly.
I would love to hear your opinions.
In case you find it useful, I can share with you the floor plan and the walls' situation at the moment (but I can't add images or links for now. Could a moderator help me?)
