Garden Studio Set Up - quick help required!

A follow on Q I have is - will the install, as I described it 2 posts ago, as it's not symettrical, create acoustic problems?

[Hugh Robjohns]

Without seeing the plans it's not possible to say.

If you're just using the room as a recording space, then no, it's unlikely that it will be problematic.

But if you plan to mix in there a lack of symmetry could result in imaging problems. The most important point is that you should have absorber panels on the mirror points. So if one of more of the isolated panels is positioned appropriately it should be okay. But if you end up with a blank wall at a mirror point it probably won't be!

So you'll need to work out where you desk is going, where the speakers are going, and where the reflection points will be... and then have a conversation with your builder.

Thanks Hugh, that was gonna be my plan.

I'd add that if you have a hard floor you really need some ceiling panels (see my post above) or you will have flutter echos between the floor and ceiling.

And as long as you have reasonable ceiling height, installing ceiling traps are a great way to add further absorption if and when you need it, and you even within reason make them adjustable if you subsequently need to liven the room up a bit for recording purposes.

Thanks both. I’m gonna see what it sounds like and add ceiling trap if need be. Will also get a rug to really tie the room together as and when I need.

You wouldn't happen to be a fan of "The Big Lebowski"?
If not, this (like most of my posts) won't make any sense and can be safely ignored. (again, like most of my posts!)

Am I the only one around here...
