I am wondering when it comes to acousticaly treating a room is there a different approach for i you are intending to use that room as a recording room than if you are using it as your mixing/critical listening space.

I am starting a recording project in a reasonably large room soon. I do not own this space i will be recording in so i can only make temporary changes to the room. It is aprox 15Mtr By 13Mt (i can get more accurate details if anyone needs them) The room is a rectangular shape somewhat.

This is the best sounding room i have access to for this project.

I will be doing 4 to 5 whole day sessions in it...first 3 day sessions will be recording acoustic guitar,Bass,Drums (mostly mic'd)

Im wondering what kind of treatments i should be thinking about for this and what part of the room should i do the recording in? Somewhere near the centre? If it will help i can get some photos of the room and more specific data.

I have never attempted any acoustic modifications to a room and would love any help anyone can offer.

All the modifications i will be able to do will need to be very budget )ie either very cheap or just household stuff)

Thanks,



Now i have read through "acoustic design for the home studio" by mitch gallagher.
