Original Message 1/6 24-Mar-01 @ 09:19 PM - Properly treating a home studio?
1. I've framed out a heating duct on the ceiling and sheet rocked it appropriately, but the duct runs right down the center of the room and I'm worried it will create some strange echos. The duct is 2 feet wide, drops about 1 ft from the normal height of the ceiling and runs the entire length (13ft) of the studio. How should I treat this area...I've heard to just leave the ceilings alone and worry about the wall behind the console/monitors and adjacent walls/corners.
2. How much foam should I throw up behind the console (the wall is 9ft wide/7feet high)...and the two adjacent walls are 13ft wide/7feet high). Should I smoother the whole thing with foam...no gaps, or evenly place gaps along the whole wall in a checker formation?
2. What's the deal with sound diffusors? Any one use them?
All in all, I just want to get this done right the first time around. I'm looking to keep it reasonably priced, so if you guys have any tips, let me know. Most of my comrades I work with are gun-ho about going all commercial studio grade and spending hundreds upon hundreds...but I simply can't afford this at home...I have the commercial studio available to me since I work at one, but having a home studio is what I've always wanted...peaceful and all at my disposal...just want it to be done right.
Thanks in advance.

DOOR
Wall D
M = Monitors (about 7ft apart...42inch high and few inches from wall)
- Upper left hand corner...this corner is jutting out (has a pipe that's been framed out), so it sticks out about 10inches...nothing serious, but should be considered I think.
- S = Synth Keyboard Stand
- R= Rack
I work with very heavy bass and low hz'...trance musician, so trapping the bass is going to be key. I plan on placing base traps in all four corners...but should I stack them from floor to ceiling though?
Sheetrock is the material we use here in states to place over 2"x4" wood studs to create a wall. Also known as drywall. It's like plaster/concrete sheets' about 1/2" thick and 4'x8' in size.
Any other info you need, let me know. Thanks K. Also, do you think I can post this in a more active forum thread...this one doesnt see too much traffic i think.
Thanks again.
