Here is a link to my sound room- http://photos.yahoo.com/smallv6 please note that it is seperate from the control room. I am starting with the sound room (tracking) first. I have enough 703 rigid fiberglass to build your traps and cover the entire room. Down every wall one right next to the other staggering the different designs low, mid, high. I realize it is alot of construction but if I will acheive better results by doing it, I will do it.
Is it better to straddle the corners or have two low bass panel traps lay flat on the walls and butt up against each other in the corner?
I am looking at picking up lumber today.
Thanks for your time

Torts,

A live room doesn't usually need as much treatment as a control room, and a large room can get away with less bass trapping than a small room. So in your case I'd start with only half as many traps, and that will probably be enough.

I can't say because I've never measured a room both ways. Either works. But don't put two low-bass traps in the same corner. Make one low-bass

Let us know which way you go with this.

Do you overlap them in the corner? Which types of traps did you use and which was on top of the other?
-or-
Did you leave a gap in the corner?
-or-
Did you build a "triangular" trap?

Thanks,
RiomirG
