Mastering studio with high room size constraints

Posted: Thu Apr 17, 2008 7:02 pm

I'm working on building a new project mastering studio and need some help with how to approach the room acoustics. I explained everything on a blog and photoshopped some room diagrams so it would be clear and easy, and maybe even enjoyable for you guys to check out.

The "acoustic help?" blog is here: http://acoustichelp.wordpress.com/

I would appreciate all the help I can get!

Everything I see there is straight forward and normal. You need as much bass trapping as possible in all the corners, plus absorption and/or diffusion behind you, and more absorption at the first reflection points on the side walls and ceiling. And Yes, a wall full of thick 703 behind the screen will help further.

Ethan,

Isn't the screen going to become a big reflector? I don't know what nihility0000 is actually referring to, and due to that I'm thinking something like may have been used in classrooms back in the day.

Maybe if he turned his speakers around so they faced the screen. Smile

Does anyone else have reccommendations? Do we need to have angled walls?
