Hi everybody, I'm a noob here and I'm gonna move our band's studio to a new place. This place has 2 rooms with dimensions shown in the attached picture http://jan02.imgshare.us/rptqvd.jpg
Is my designed layout gonna works?
We mostly recorded our band music (Metal style) and some other kinds of music (Hiphop, Country, maybe...)
The control room is poorly a cube (we dont have any choice) so I try to make it non-paralelled by using differents absorbers' textures on the walls with lots of bass traps in corners and in the cloud upon the mix area.
This is a room in a old French villa with solid 25cm walls so I think good isolation may come from blocking the doors and window.
We're gonna record drums and some acoustic instruments so I splitted the control room into 2 areas. One is carpeted and the other is covered by wood floor.
The present kitchen will be splitted into a vox booth and a smaller kitchen
The overal floor will be lifted on neoprene and wood-grid filled with rockwool about 10cm over the cement floor.
The vox booth's double doors are glass-typed so no windows is needed.
The exact positions of absorbers and diffusors will be determined when I observe the room with a RTA meter.
Currently we have 2 pairs of NS-10Ms made in Japan so we're gonna add a sub.
Please give your opinions on this layout !!!
Thanks for reading !! Sorry for my bad English !!!

hi

i m not an expert, but from what i ve learned here in order to get a good listening enviroment you need to add bass traps to decrease low frequency reflections as much as possible (cause the room is cubic and small). you dont need a big amount of reverb for the mid and high frequencies either, probably around 0.2 and 0.3 seconds.... it will be a bit tricky though cause you ll be recording and mixing in the same room.
 
Plz give your opinions on sizes of absorbers, bass traps... ? Thanks!
