hey treatment experts...
without getting technical (because i don't know how to!) - i'm finding that my room lacks focus and i'm not getting the clarity that i should be getting in my room. majority of the time in this room is spent mixing. i've come to the conclusion that i probably need to treat my room to help focus the sound. i have gathered materials for building absorbers from rigid fiberglass and now the more and more i think about it, the more i don't know what i should build where. and this is where your advice comes in!
my room is 14 1/2 feet long, 10 1/2 feet wide, and 8 feet tall. the monitors fire lengthwise from the back wall into the rest of the room.
my rig sits about a foot and a half from the back wall. in the right corner, is a closet a door. about a foot or two from the closet door in the back wall is a 27" x 48" window. in the left corner, my subwoofer sits at the tri-corner (this is really the only practical place in the room that it can go...also, i'm not finding bass to be an issue). above the subwoofer, is my homemade pegboard cable hanging system. in the back left corner, a 5 1/2 foot tall x 6 foot long x 1 foot deep shelf unit filled with LPs extends into the corner. a tv sits on top of the shelf in the corner filling the space between the top of the shelf and the ceiling. the back right corner, there is the entrance door. so, long story short, the space in 3 of 4 my corners are occupied from the floor to 6 feet up, and 1 is filled all the way to the ceiling. should i treat the open corners with some tri-corner absorbers?? bass isn't really my issue, but might these help? this is my first point of confusion.
in the middle of the right wall to the right of my rig is a 7 foot tall by 5 foot wide x 1 1/2 foot deep wood faced murphy bed. i believe this is definitley part of the problem and my plan was to place absorbers all along the face of it.
so aside from the murphy bed, i thought maybe i should try to treat the back wall, window, and the face of the closet door in the corner with absorbers. then i thought maybe i should build 2 - 4 large moveable absorbers to place behind the speakers and rig in front of the back wall.then i thought, maybe i should build a series of panels from the ceiling above my listening position down to the back wall.
so i guess i don't know what my best course of action is. i've been poring over these forums and all the internet acoustic treatment hotspots and i'm a bit lost. what would generally get me best results? i'm sure anything will help, but any advice from you guys would be greatly appreciated.
cheers!
