Hello everyone!
I have a few questions I've never seen addressed elsewhere. Hopefully, I can phrase it correctly to make sense.
"Conventional wisdom" has us putting a cloud on the ceiling over the mix position, and recommends a hard surface floor below, oftentimes with a "variable" size / position piece of carpeting near the mix position. I've also seen recommendations to remove any existing wall-to-wall carpet, or put a plywood sheet over it.
From an acoustics standpoint, what is the difference between a cloud on a ceiling with a hard floor, and a carpeted floor with a hard (no cloud) ceiling? Do sound waves act differently on the ceiling as opposed to the floor (maybe due to equipment / people being present)? Or, does the conventional wisdom offer the easiest / cheapest way to adjust the room?
Thanks!
