Live Room Dimension

(1/2) > >>

Hi all,

I'm getting a room extended and making it my Live-Room.

The dimensions will roughly be:

Length: 23’
Width: 12’
Height: 7’ 10”

I've tried a room-mode calculator but I didn't understand it.

Do you think the size is OK for acoustics?

I'll obviously acoustically treat the room, and I know it won't be 'perfect', but I'm hoping it'll be good enough.

Thanks,
Gaz

somewhat similar to mine
23' long 15; wide one end 12' wide the other (staggered walls... a stairway), ceiling is 7' the narrow end and 7'9" the wide end

it works for me... but then it's what I got.

Wood floors (except under the drums and keyboards), bass traps in most corners (unless theres a door), combination of diffusers, Heimholtz (sp?) resonators, and panels of RFG (1" and 2"), some ceiling panels flat on the ceiling, others suspended with a 2-3 space behind

not acoustically perfect, but I've found most of the sweet spots (at least for the mics I have)

you learn to work with what you got

honestly, I think start with traps in the corners, then deal with the walls (leave opposing spaces open)

then the ceiling.... as most speakers, drums, and vocals tend to 'immediately"project horizontally (I mean the amps aren't point at the ceiling, the vocalists are laying the floor sing 'up"... etc"  I think corners first, walls second

but that's just my 2 cents

I think short of hiring an acoustical engineering, short of overkill, most efforts "help" to some degree

OK ... 3 cents (inflation's a bitch)

Well I've given the go ahead to the architect to submit the plans for 'planning permission' today.  It'll take a while, but I'm excited because it's something I've always wanted to do.  My family think I'm crazy.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to have a window from the control room to live room, but I'll make do.

I've got a lot of planning to do.  Need to work out where to place I/O wall plates.  You mentioned it's better to scatter them throughout the room.

What kind of headphone amp/distributor have you got?

Just read the other topic, couldn't remember if you'd said already.
