Hi All,
I've just completed a reno on a detached garage and I'm looking for advice on sound treatment. I'd like it to be an all-in-one tracking and mixing room.
The room is 19 ft long by 15 ft wide. It has an A frame ceiling, with the center beam 10 ft high, and the ceiling is 7 ft high at the lowest point where side walls meet it.
There is a glass french door and two 2x2 windows on the right wall, and another glass door in the rear right along the wall that was the garage door. The windows are recessed about six inches thanks to the foam/sound board insulating.
I've already scored some stuff off CL:
Two GIK soffit freestanding basstraps -- placed in the rear corners
Two GIK wall mount bass traps -- straddling front corners
I have two more regular GIK panels (the thinner versions not deemed bass traps) that I plan to join for a cloud above the mix position. Also two Auralex Promaxs' (the ones on stands) to move about the room, and some foam from a previous, much smaller room.
My question has to do with a reflection I am noticing in the room. The upper left side of the room as a very pronounced one. If you snap in the air on the side you can hear it reflecting back and forth, and it made drum overheads sound like I was recording into a spring reverb!
It is much less pronounced if you snap/clap down lower. I assume because of the bass traps. And it doesn't happen at all over on the right side of the room. I guess because of the doors??
I know that I still need to treat the front and back walls, but this seems like it is a real problem directly related to the corners on the left side. All of the corners are an irregular shape because of the A frame ceiling. So sticking a LENRD trap isn't really going to fit it.
What is recommended for this?
