Choosing a room
Notes:
- When selecting the room in your house to convert into a studio, there are five factors you should consider:
- The size of the room
- The dimensions of the room
- The surfaces within the room
- The height of the ceiling
- Noise level within the room
- You will want to avoid smaller rooms. While it may seem like a good idea to find a smaller area to avoid echoing, these claustrophobic spaces are an acoustical nightmare.
- Do not be afraid to give yourself some room—the bigger the space, the better. However, dimensionally, you want to avoid any rooms that are perfectly square, as it causes an immense buildup of standing waves.
- When we refer to the surfaces of the room, this primarily concerns flooring. You want to avoid hard, reflective surfacing such as concrete or marble. You want to avoid large windows in your studio for the same reason. Ideally, wooden floors are the best option.
- As for the ceiling, you’ll want to avoid low- hanging ceilings, otherwise, you’ll be facing issues with vertical reflections.

Don’t forget flooring
Notes:
- As an added part of this guide to setting up your home studio, we recommend making use of thick rubber-backed mats or carpets midway between you and your monitors.
- The floor is often neglected when considering acoustics, and a carpet or a rubber mat is effective at absorbing accuracy and reducing reflections. They are especially effective at absorbing higher frequencies.
- Other flooring options that you will find in professional studios are hardwood, laminate and vinyl flooring. Many acoustic experts suggest using thin rugs or mats on these flooring surfaces to keep instruments and other objects from sliding.

Soundproofing
Notes:
- To isolate your studio from outside noise [same win] that could pollute your audio, some conventional ways to soundproof have been to use thicker walls or wall padding.
- However, a newcomer to the scene is melamine resin foam that can double in purpose. Initially, the foam was discovered to be effective insulation that was both malleable on odd surfaces and naturally flame resistant, but it was then also discovered that the foam was effective at blocking out noise.
