Bedroom treatments
Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2016 3:15 pm
Shame on you for thinking this is anything other than a recording topic!
The bedroom is a 3.5m x 6m box and of all places I am looking to place a vocal station in a corner (!!). The two options seems to be ...
Option A to face the talent diagonally into the centre of the room, record using a reflection filter and treat the corner behind the singer with corner baffles and acoustic tiles (I can hang doona-like material across the far wall as well) OR
Option B face the talent into the corner, use a reflection filter and hang the doona thing behind the talent (in which case I'm not sure that wall treatments would add anything).
Mic will be cardioid, wider rather than narrower, and the idea is to have a small floating platform under the mic stand.
I suppose there is an Option C which sees the talent face along the side of the long axis of the room with corner and wall treatment on the wall that would be straight ahead.
Any suggestions from the gurus on how to align the station and what materials I should be looking for?
