modal prediction of non-rectangular room?

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows a way to guesstimate -with any degree of accuracy- the modal response of a room that takes the shape of an "L"

I remember reading (maybe in Everest's 'Handbook'?) something about sectioning off rectangles/squares but what then? Is it possible to predict these modes at all? (as a whole)

Optimal room shape / New wall angles?

I'm redoing my basement studio to create a better recording environment and am wondering if changing the shape of the room as I design the inner leaf walls would be smart. The room dimensions are 21L x 14W x 7.5H. The other option is to keep the wall angels as they are and use wall treatment and bass traps. Thoughts?

What is better, enclosed or open control room?

The recording studio which is now 3/4 built, is at a stand still, too many people are in disagreement on how the control room should be, and being that the studio is at the back of a friends house, it's ultimately up to him how the studio is built, but he's stopped the building, because a lot of people say "I played in a band and we never had an enclosed control room, just get a USB mixing des

Room Treatment Priorities

I'm about to set up my first studio for mixing. It's a small, roughly sqaure room. I want to set up enough treatment so that I can be comfortable that the acoustics of the room are not affecting my mix to any noticeable extent. Of course there are numerous articles and examples on how to do this on the net. Here is a good one:

Control Room Monitoring Senario's ?

I use an analog console in my studio for some tracking and for mix down. When I mix down I have no choice but to go into and A/D to get back into a stereo track in pro tools. I use TC MD3 to master in PT. All good.
The question is ? Do you think the console should always be monitored through the A/D and then to control room monitors via D/A as would be the case during mix down.
