Hello, I appreciate you Ethan for creating this site, & all the wonderful information available. I read your book, site, I’ve been reading the forums in detail. Honestly, I need help determining the panel placement/type, If you (all also welcome) have any time or will to correspond, I will be forever grateful & truly freed.
With so much information overload I created a wall for myself & am having trouble moving past it.
I have 36 2” panels of 703. (Figured 18 using as 4”)
To save time, I created layouts of my room for those willing to help.
I made a detailed version with all measurements, as well as blank ones. If it helps you, feel free to copy them into your program & design how you’d place panels. I like visuals because my imagination is vivid... I’ll be in left field when we were supposed to be at the bowling alley.....

I was going to go with panels across the corners, but saw so much about using fluffy in corners & makIng more panels.
I also thought I would make them 4” thick just wrapped in fabric 4-6” off the wall as well as the ceiling.
In the photo, there is a “flat eq section” near the back wall. This measured a relatively flat response to a pink noise track. (No room treatment)
The “mixing area” was placed there because that is the longest front wall. So the waves would travel farther down left & right before hitting a corner. (I also thought having two large rooms with doors directly on that wall helps sound leave the mixing room?) A large walk-in closet & a full bathroom that has another door on the other side of it! My head makes a case waves have even more room to travel if they go inside THAT portal lol. But I’m not an acoustician or physicist etc
I was going to cover the front wall, left & right wall, ceiling, & have hangers dangling in different rectangular sizes vertical & horizontal (just fabric & 703) on the rear wall, but now I don’t know.
Is it better to make the panels smaller so the edges work? How close to space them? Or does butting them together work better? If so why not leave em big then lol? Argh you see my walls building? Can you help me?
I’m open to mixing panel sizes since learning edges help more than one giant panel. But I don’t know how to break them up best in the room. Same with using ssc’s instead of the straddle if needed.
Referring to link with jpegs:
On the layout, you’ll see a gray area bordering the rear wall & right wall. The ceiling slopes from 8’ on the outside to 9’ on the inside white area. Because it can look like a different area of the room, I included layout versions with & without the gray shade. The slope up/down is 48” from outside corner to the center of the room. It is only that rear & right side of the room. The rest is 9’ ceiling
Once I can finally get this figured out, I can know the amount of burlap/muslin I need to find & can start mixing my music! .
I know it’s my first post,I’m writing a novel, & asking a ton. I don’t mean to waste anyone’s time, thank you for any help & guidance offered.
