Hi all,
So first off I know my request fits a cliche of “can your expertise help with my completely not ideal situation please.” If that annoys you, I don’t blame you and feel free to stop reading here! I know I’m a dime a dozen.
However if you’re interested in helping out someone to get the most optimal solution out of suboptimal situation and is tired of giving up on this because of it I could really use your help! I’ve been meaning to treat my room for years but always get overwhelmed by how technical and often contradictory things I read in various places is.
The room is 13x11.3 (I know) and I share it as an office with my partner. She needs a wall for her work desk as well as a blank wall for recording auditions (fortunately we have a shared desire to acoustically treat the space). She has conceded that I could put an acoustic blanket (are these even worth it?) on the blank wall she uses for auditions.
For me: is the best place to put my desk and monitors (HS8s) on the side with the window? The window has a shallow well, does that make a difference? Or should I put my desk somewhere else? If I do put it on the side with the windows, should I place my monitors equidistant on the wall which means they go right to the edge of the window well? If I put my desk there it is a third the length of the wall.
Additionally, I am going to put up bass traps on all the corners. I am also getting rockwool acoustic panels, where would be the most optimal place to put those (I know this info exists online but it doesn’t for when you have to negotiate the space with a partner lol)?
Anything else you’d recommend for the most optimal solution to this situation?
What would the best walls for my partner to use?
THANK YOU for taking the time to read this
