Hello Everyone. I'm new here, thanks for having me!
I'm making a tracking room in the basement. The size is 13x15.5 x 8.7. The ceiling height will change because the stated dimension is measured to the floor above, between joists, and I need to treat it for trasmission.
Two walls are concrete, so there's no reason to worry about sound transmission on those two walls.
The walls that face opposite the concrete walls have been built for STC value, and are sheet rocked.
(two leaf,dual metal stud,insulated,double rock) so I was wondering...
Since it's a tracking room, does it make sense to just treat the two concrete walls for absorption
(including bass and corner traps) and make that a "dead" area and the other walls a "live" area ?
On the positive side, I'd have some variety for moving mics around to get a variety of sounds, and each reflective wall would be opposite and absorbing wall, which should control comb filtering.
On the down side, I know that it's generally not advised to put all of your absorption in one place, with the preferred method being alternating panels, with the inverse on the opposite wall.
Opinions please?
