My garage is about 15ft by 25ft with a 7ft ceiling, concrete walls and a concrete floor.
It sounds fairly crap. I put in 12 RW5 3ftx2ft 50mm thick rockwool slabs and it still sounds fairly duff. I'm pretty sure its the ceiling thats the problem. It makes that really annoying pingy, fluttery sort of sound.
Is it possible to regularly get a good sound with such a low ceiling? If I completely kill a cpl of square metres of the roof with rockwool above the drums would this work in theory? The bass in the room isn't really a problem so if I used something cheaper and less dense than RW5 on the roof would this be effective at taking the crappy ceiling reflections out? If I could just glue up some foam or blankets or something like that it would be much handier than having to put up rockwool.
Alternatively I could record in a 12 ft x 20ft garage with a high pitched roof, but its not at my home so its not as convenient.
Thanks
