Acoustical Treatment Advice

[stickers]

I have existing room here that is treated but I think it could be treated more efficiently and effectively and by that I mean just make the room sound better than it does now. My problem is that since there is already stuff in there its really blocking my vision of what would work better. Maybe you guys can see beyond what is existing, imagine the room empty and what needs to be done to treat the space.


The ceiling is 8.5'. The wall with the window into the control room is roughly 14'. Clockwise from that wall with the window and door is 9'. The next walls clockwise from that wall are 14',15', 4' respectively. Ceiling and floor are parallel

Here a pic of the studio layout. Room in question is the top right one.

What do you mean by "better"? Better is purely subjective. What is bad about it now?

You seem to have basstraps and gobos which is good, so what are you wanting from it?

If you want more/nicer reverb, remove the rugs. Maybe install some clouds instead.

Small rooms always sound like small rooms, so generally you want to take the room out of the equation, or at least reduce it's small roomy effect.

Experiment with placement of instruments and mic placement.

Tbh, it is truely impossible to tell you what you need to do to improve the sound you are getting in the room if we don't know what: 1. you think is wrong with it, 2. you'd like from it, 3. your budget is, 4. you have tried already, etc, etc, etc.

If I was a guessing man, going from the pictures and what I've recently read, it looks like you need a lot more broadband bass absortion. But like said, what don't you like and what is your goal rather than just "better"?

Agreed.
And I see only 1 (thin) panel on the ceiling.I suggest more - and at least 4"(6" or 8" better) - and 2 instead 1 cloud over the drumset (and thicker...)
