Hi! Before I pose the question I will introduce myself. I live in North Carolina where I have been an audio engineer for 8 years. I have been mastering for about 4 years. Most of my work is in the Southern Gospel field. One of my last mastering projects had a #1 single for July & August of 2001 in the Southern Gospel market. I have recently decided to put a mastering room in my home instead of having to drive 20 minutes to the room I am currently using. Now for my question(s)...
I have 2 room choices. A 12.5' x 12' x 8' room or a 12' x 16' x 8' room. I know that square rooms are the pits so I am seriously considering the larger room. The problem is that it is unfinished so it will be a lot more work. But, thats enough about that. Could you all help me out with treatment? I figure a cloud on the ceiling, diffusion in the back and some sort of absorption on the side walls and front wall but I don't know. I really could use some help because I know that a mastering room can be a little different from a regular control room. My speakers will probably be midfields with a 8" woofer and possibly a sub. I really want it to sound right so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
