![]() No slats in the RFZ zone or in small mini-corners of the angled walls. They will be 70/30 ratio reflective/absorptive. As long as they keep life in the room, and if the angles break up the parallel walls, I think they should work fine. Mine will generate less diffraction I assume-but what does that sound like?). I am curious as to what effect the beveled edges will have vs the better pine boards you can buy with the more squared-off edges (at 3x the price). Also useful for some of the framing (along with 2x3’s). Since this project is all about the highest quality I can achieve on a very low budget (under $2500) using as much materials as I already have, these cheap slats are rough lumber called 1”x2” in the US (actually 5/8”x1.5”) with strongly beveled/chamfered edges. Plan is to prime and paint them with satin finish latex, since polyurethane will just show off their nasty look. Thanks, all the best to everyoneĪll slats cut to size and numbered on the back by location. Please chime in with any serious suggestions. This will be constructed over the next 2-3 months and I'll be updating with photos and learning. 31" gap from new partition wall - what's the implication here, and should i close it up rear section of room has issues on left wall: 2 windows mean only half-height treatments are possible. lots of lower honky midrange in both front and rear overly strong chorus and delay/imaging effects on pop records strong sub bass but surprisingly consistent around the room I'm loosely following the excellent designs of John Brandt, and am very thankful to him for his guidance. Placement (studio width) determined by anchoring into rafters. Construction is a few days in, I just got the monitors (Focal Shape 65), I have run all the numbers for room modes etc, but haven't started testing with REW yet.Ī partition wall was built to define the space and present some L-R symmetry to the highs and mids. I am dismantling all my discrete absorber panels shown in previous studio thread above for a more proper light construction approach. I am willing to build membrane absorbers/VPRs if needed (though i'm not sure how/where they would fit into the room design). I understand my options and am not looking for perfection. Specific goals are to improve over my last studio - including an effective 48" RFZ, ~.4sec RT60 with good decay, ETC showing no reflections above -20, using mostly materials I have, not ripping up the carpet, and doing everything DIY (for learning). ![]() The priority is accurate mixing and a good production vibe. I might record guitars and vocals and small instruments in the room but not drums. Purpose is audio post mixing and electro/acoustic pop music production. It's in a ~1980 renovation of a 3rd floor attic of a 1930 construction New England timber-frame home (USA).
