hello People After a couple of years I decided to put some time in the acoustic of my studio What I have so far : Room dimension L13 X W12 X H8 with Wood Walls/ceiling and a Large 6 X 8 Carpet on the floor Floor to ceiling Bass Trap made with Rockwool on the Front L&R corners and Back left Corner 3 PAD of W24 x H48 x D6 made with Rockwool used as the 4th corner BassTrap, ceiling Cloud and left wall at the 1th reflection point At This moment I have 2 Skyline Diffusor (748Hz X 4526 Hz) on the Back Wall with a 24 X 48 Foam PAD in the middle I`m looking to Put 2 or 3 Absorber of W24 x H48 x D6 made with Rockwool on the Front Wall behind the monitor, move the Skyline to the ceiling at about 1/3 from the Back Wall and replace them by a Large Quadratic Diffusor on the Back Wall. I still have some Foam Diffusor/Absorber that I will put on the left side wall I doing Primary Mixing but sometime Mastering as a last resort This a more accurate scale plan of my studio

Cool. What are your goals? Do you have any problems now that you're aware of? I didn't see any questions.

Hello and Thanks for the reply please see new pic for a more to scale plan on the original poste
I`m new to acoustic treatment and all I did so far is from what ever I could find and understand from the internet. the Bass Trap help a lot for the low end and I was wandering what else I can do to help my mix/Master translate. So basically take my crapy 12'X 13'X 8' room out of the equation as much as possible. I understand that my Room will never be a GREAT Room !
1- Should I use more Absorption on the Front Wall behind the Monitors like 24"X48"X8" Rockwool PAD or a Mix of Absorption and Diffusion 2- Should I use Large Quad Diffusor only VS Skyline + Foam on the Back Wall. 3- Is 7' enough from my listening position to the Quadratic Diffusor on the Back Wall 4- Is 6' enough from my listening position to the Skyline Diffusor on the ceiling when the Longest Piece of the Skyline is 9" 5- Should I just stop putting money on a dead horse
Thanks again for your Time

It looks like you're on the right track. I don't see RFZ absorbers on the side walls but the Bass trap on the wall opposite the window should be designed to absorb mids/highs and you should have an RFZ absorber on the window too. It can be made moveable so you can move it when you're not mixing/mastering.
Measurement is usually (almost always) helpful to verify results and document progress; it's highly recommended, especially if you want to tweak the fine details. Having said that, any room has it's limits.
Your back door corner has an opportunity to have a Bass trap added to the door itself and a corner trap above the door too... but do measurements first.
Diffusion is subjective to some extent but measurements of RT60 should give you some indication of efficacy. IMHO, the rear wall is a good place for the QRD but I wonder if a larger or an additional wide band cloud absorber on the ceiling may be a better than a skyline. Again, measurements will help to sort some of this out.
If need be, there are also more bass trapping opportunities in the wall/ceiling corners. Floor/wall corners are good acoustically too but they take up floor space so they are almost never used in smaller rooms.
Bottom Line: Measurements will help but when you mixes translate favorably to other rooms and systems, you're good. Also...use reference tracks.

Hello, I`m exchanging with the tech at roomeqwizard.com (REW) to help me figure out why it crash when I try to use it but I install SonarWork today and it work like a charm so if there something I can send you from SonarWork I will be happy to I was wondering if I could use foam like the one bellow on the side walls for RFZ absorbers of should I got with W24" x H48" x D4" PAD made with Rockwool with a 1" air space behind and maybe use 2 of those Absorber W24" x H48" x D6" made with Rockwool for the Back Wall Put the 2 Skyline Diffusor between the 2 Absorber W24" x H48" x D6" on the Front Wall From what you Told me that`s what I got so far

Is there a specific distance between the celling and the top of the ceiling cloud ?

Yes. Typically the gap or distance from the ceiling is equal to the absorber thickness and that's a good starting point and possibly the best you can do...but...if you want to try to fine tune it better, you can try to adjust the gap up or down. If you use a chains with links and hooks, you can easily make small adjustments in between acoustic measurements.

Following the advice of a tech from REW I did a mesure with no Calibration and this what I got. I still need the PAD at the 1 the Reflection on the right side, some Bass Trap on the Front Wall Behind the Monitors and some diffusion on that Back Wall Behind the Sofa
