If you’re setting up a studio in a new room, or you’re thinking of switching to a different room, you’ve probably come across the idea of ideal room dimensions or optimizing ratios.
And maybe you’re actually in a position where you’re seriously considering putting in a new wall or reducing the ceiling height to do that.
But is it actually always worth it at all costs, just because you have the option?
Or are there scenarios where it’s better to just leave the room dimensions as they are, even though you could change them?
In this video I want to show you what you need to consider to make that decision, when it’s worth optimizing the dimensions in your new studio, and when not.
And for those cases where you decide that it is actually worth it, I’ll tell you the two key things you need to get right to make sure it works as predicted.

Great stuff, Jesco. Could you talk about in a future video the dichotomy between standing waves and frequency response peaks/valleys due to first reflections (comb filtering)? Room modes are obviously a big deal, but don't the time arrival differences from your speakers also weigh heavily in finding your low end sweet spot?

Hey Jesco! Thank you for your valuable insight! :) >How do the dimensions change when building a critical listening room vs a live recording room? > How much of sticking to the bolt area true when building a live room for tracking (loud rock drums, piano, guitars)? What would be an ideal method to find dimensions to build a recording space from the ground up, with say a mixing room and a live space to track (drums, piano, guitars....)? Thank you!

This was very interesting - so thank you! I noticed that the background to the room mode graph is a piano keyboard - specifically the lower half of the keyboard. Middle C is just where the penultimate frequency label - 260 Hz - is printed (C4 being 261.3Hz). [Edit: I may give your basshunter technique a try. Also, sorry for my other, facetious comment, yet it's true I have no hair... :) ]

I generally put my speakers on the long wall with the front baffles one third of the way into the room (always a minimum of one meter from the back wall). I sit one third of the way out in the room from the wall behind me. I place the tweeters at ear level and the speakers relatively close together. Keeping the speakers close together makes for a solid midrange presentation. Sounds are usually mono in their first instance so it makes sense to avoid having sounds coming from speakers placed far apart. I like having a lot of objects in my room of various shapes and sizes. I figure they are going to suck up and diffuse some of the sound just as in a normal home listening space. Wall to wall medium thick carpet on the floor keeps the room from echoing too much.

hi Jesco, I'm building a room and my ceilings are angled from 8 feet to 13 in the center of the room; L 18' W 12'. Will the ceiling orientation be a serious issue? how do i treat it?

Hey Jesco et al., What are the theoretically best combinations of dimensions you’ve come across while using the amroc calculator? - You know; landing the red X inside the Bolt blob, perfectly fulfilling the Bonello rule (with increasing numbers in every single step) and then with the most evenly distributed modes across the freq spectrum..? Thanks :)

So if I'm planning new house, should I build the studio room as a wooden frame structure filled with insulation instead of ceramic block walls? Would that minimize the room modes? Would it make them dissapear? What about the floor, should it be light, wooden structure, or it does't matter if it's concrete slab if there's wooden ceiling?

Hey Jesco, my room I'm building is 36x25x12. That length puts it waaay off the bolt area. Like, way off. However, the inner walls are only a single layer of drywall, and the outer wall is thin sheet metal. So, it's not even close to the 100% reflectivity the Amroc model is based off. My questions is, what bass frequencies do I need to worry about, and what ones will simply pass through?

If one is able to remodel a room, would it not be ideal to create non-parallel surfaces using the appropriate calculations and materials? All of the professional control rooms/mastering rooms I have been in are devoid of parallel surfaces.

I would think sound deadening insulation would turn the most flimsy of walls or barriers solid enough

By "square" room, I guess, you mean a "rectangular" room. Because this is how most of the regular rooms are built. If you really mean a perfect square room, as I've heard from acoustic specialists, these kind of rooms are as problematic to treat as odd shaped ones, due to all standing waves from every wall to another will be equal. Please correct me, if I'm wrong.
