Creating studio in attic

Postby lawman » Thu Dec 16, 2010 2:14 pm

I am currently using my attic as a studio and would like some ideas for fixing the sound scape of the area.

There are bay windows at either end and the ceiling slopes from the middle down to the bottom of the windows if you know what I mean so there are really no long straight walls.

What sort of sound treatment may be used as the sound is all over the place. The room is about 8 metres long and 3.5 metres wide.

Sounds like an interesting space! bay windows so I'm assuming lots of natural light which I love in studios...
just a heads up, policy is that you put your full name and preferably location in your signature.

Cheers
Myles

As promised, I have uploded some photos of my recording space in my attic.
It is a typical attic space with sloping ceilings. The sound is fairly bass dead.

The room is app. 8m x 3.5m.

Any ideas on moving equipment or placing sound reinforcement would be greatly appreciated.

Haven't had much response as yet but was wondering if room acoustic software would be of any benefit?

Thanks
