I just bought a house, a 1930 vintage two-story with an unfinished basement. My studio only needs to be one room, just enough to be able to mix in, and record vocals and occasional samples (everything else is either hardware synths or plugins). Finishing the basement is out due to expense, so that's going to become a wood/metalworking shop.
My original plan was to use one of the bedrooms. It's a decent size, but there's an issue: it's square. 10'4" by 10'5" (by 8' tall), to be more precise. Now, bass-trapping the crap out of it is an option, and rockwool is readily available where I live.
The remaining option is to use the first floor, and basically kit out the dining and living rooms (which kinda merge together). However, it also merges with the kitchen (the three rooms together are all kinda one L-shaped space), where I can't exactly hang traps.
Honestly, I'd like to use the bedroom, as it's a quieter space and I can seal it up even more. So my question to all of you is: is there anything I can do to whip this room into shape? Searching around the web has been getting me a range of answers all the way from "don't bother" to "just bass-trap the hell out of it."
I can provide more details and pictures/video of the options if necessary. Thank you!
