Please open the attached floorplan.pdf .
This studio is in the proverbial spare bedroom. Upper level of a 2-story stick-built house. Walls are conventional sheetrock with 8-foot ceiling made of same. Tongue-n-groove pine flooring.
Floor-to-ceiling base traps in corners made of 4-inch rigid fiberglass, 3-foot wide on side toward workstation, 2-foot wide in alcove area near door. (Homemade units based on feedback gained here earlier - HUGE improvement from before - thanks guys!)
Other acoustically active elements: braided rug partially covering floor, closet FULL of various heavy fabric items, and pine cupboard also full of similar materials. Utility table has open stretcher-type legs (kinda needs to stay for various domestic duties).
Monitors and amp are stand mounted at about waist height. Strat (see avatar) is played free-standing around center part of room.
No other modifications to room so far. Already sounds much better than before bass traps, but still open to suggestions. Anything needed for floor or ceiling? Something more along the walls?
Must however be non-permanent to room, LOW-budget, and preferably do-it-myself.
Thanks for any (further) knowledge. (This site is SO great!)
