Hey guys,
First time posting in the Studio Building and Construction forum... I am a music director at a College radio station and I have some questions about the recording studio space we have here. I attached a floor-plan of the room - it's a pretty janky space. I have some concerns about the current setup. It was set-up like this when I started working here, and I have been extremely displeased with the way that it sounds. I did some reading on the generals of an ideal studio setup, and this does not seem to be the most ideal. For one thing, there are crazy bass frequency drop outs - because of the extreme corners (I am guessing...?), which make it almost unusable as a listening space (it also has panelled celings which, obviously, creates buzzing, etc.).
I have tried moving the speakers to find a more symmetrical set-up, but the room doesn't really allow for that... and I don't really have the time to move all of the furniture for a test. I was just wondering what your guys' thoughts on this might be. Is there a way that I could arrange this space to have a decent sound? Honestly, we don't get that much funding as it is, and I don't think the administration would give us that much (if any) money to completely overhaul the room. So, this would all have to be, like, no budget. I honestly don't know what would have to be done to correct the space. Any help would really be appreciated.
Here is the layout:
