We have a Commercial Recording Studio that is almost done with construction. We are wondering the best way to Acoustically treat the Live Room and Control Room? Bass Traps? Fiberglass Absorbers? Diffussors? Ceilings? Our floors are wood laminate. We have scaled drawings we can email if need be. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

Go over to Ethan's acoustics forum and ask...but I gotta' say, if you are almost done with construction, you may be asking a bit late, as acoustic treatment is best applied during construction, and not only to the finished walls/floor/ceiling.....
Agreed, acoustic room treatment begins in design, not after construction. What you will need is dependent on what you did in the design construction phases. If done properly, you need little to none. However without details specifics of the construction and measurements of the finished rooms, it is impossible to give you any specific data. Ideally a professional design engineer would be consulted during the design phase, and then brought in again prior to acoustically tuning the room to complete their work.
The structure was already in place. We didn't build it from the ground up. It used to be a raquetball room. The live room is 20x25x20. 3 walls are concrete and one is drywall, but that is a rough description. Is there anything we can do to with that scenario?

Thanks for moving this Jim.
Ryan, see the Forum FAQ linked in the READ HIS FIRST "sticky" post. That will explain most of what you need, then you can follow up here with any questions.
