New rooms can be tricky. They are an uncharted territory, and hazards hang around in every corner.
Literally, the corners will be your worst enemy.
Anyone setting up a home recording studio is going to run into some issues, but understanding what you are dealing with makes the process so much seamless.
If you are dealing with a room with a bad sound issue, you can try acoustic treatment panels that make your home studio sound better directly.
Ideally your blending position should be positioned at 1/3 of the room length. You can go a bit crazy and bring a tape measure like the way I did by hiring a soundproofing company near me, or you can just ascertain it.
1. Beware of the corners
Like I said, corners are your enemies. Put as many bas traps as possible in the corners. Putting the bass-traps in the corners is like setting up a Ghostbuster trap that sucks up your low-end. You know that is where the bass will be, so ensure you suck it out of your room like the way I did by hiring soundproofing contractors near me.
2. Windows suck
Glass gives an irritating bright slap that can truly screw with a mix. Currently, I have a window at the corner of my gym ceiling. I am in the process of creating broadband absorbers that go behind my monitors to even this out.
If you have a window behind or in front of you, think about closing it with some acoustic treatment panels.
