Firstly, i'd just like to say these forums are great, and whilst i'm a first time poster i'm a long time browser and collectively you've all solved a wealth of my concerns, I think from doing some extensive reading of these forums i've pretty much finished getting my home studio (not the one below) treatment and set-up sorted so thanks very much! Anyway, my dilemma is that we have a brand new mastering studio which isn't particularly large and is due for treatment very soon, most of the obvious sound traps have been decided upon (diffusers, bass traps from RPG etc) however the room itself has a very high celing which is not unlike a small church ceiling, which seems to capture a lot of unwanted noise and reflect it to every corner of the room (especially the corners actually!).. i took a photo.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v719/ixnayonthedave/highroof.jpg The beam is a fairly large problem, as its a support beam it can't be removed so we have to work around it but it does in some ways split the sounds in half, i.e. the desk end of the room.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v719/ixnayonthedave/corner.jpg ..sounds completely different to the back.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v719/ixnayonthedave/backofroom.jpg Obviously at this stage a lot of that problem will be solved when the various dispertion/absorbtion acoustics are put in, but the roof has me baffled. Any ideas or help would be tremendously appreciated! Regards Dai |

In fact, I'd contact more than one company so that I could get a variety of input from competing companies. |

Hanging a large panel or two horizontal to the ceiling would be the next step if the first recommendation is not sufficient. |
