This is a cape style bedroom, 12x12x7, hardwood floor, horsehair plaster and lathe walls.
I've treated it a bit, albeit on a whim and not really knowing what I was doing with 4 strips of auralex foam, and an auralex basstrap in each corner.
When it comes time to sell the house, I don't mind redoing the walls, but I'd like to keep the wooden doors and molding ok.
This is both my tracking, and control room, and I only record singer/songwriters. Usually singing and playing at the same time. I get a sound that I like from isolated close miked tracks, but some of the stuff I've been doing lately will not allow that.
I'm recording three singers, two of which playing guitar, and one direct keyboard. I through If I give everyone their own condenser, I get absurd phase issues. If I use a single omni, in the middle, I get what I believe is the sound of the room. Everyone sounds much farther away from the mic than they actually are. Sounds a bit like sitting in the last row of a church. I'd like to tighten up the room so that I can record with an omni, and have it sound better.
Monitoring is boomy, probably because I bought foam basstraps from guitarcenter instead of ethans, or making my own. I'm just not a DIY kinda guy when it comes to hammers and nails and staples.
I was considering putting some auralex diffusers on the slants going up to the ceiling, but before I waste more money, I'd rather check with the experts. I don't mind dropping 3 or 4 hundred bucks, but if I'm going to do that, I want it to do what I want it to do...
I placed the bass traps about 3/4 the way up the corners... Would there be a point in buying 4 more to place below them going all the way down to the floor?
