Aloha and welcome to the forum,

Congrats on your studio build!

Resized your pics down to 700 pixels wide (forum rules).

Okay, we got the vertical measurements.

What are your other room measurements? L x W

Here is a link for more info on what areas we'll be covering:

Aloha,

Perhaps something like this?

6’8” x 9’ x 12’3”

- soffit walls angled 30 degrees
- side slat wall absorbers angled 6 degrees
- rear corner bass traps angled 45 degrees
- acoustic treatment plans - http://www.johnlsayers.com/HR/index1.htm

Hope this helps,

Aloha

Hope this helps,

if i break down the booth and use the 4 walls could i incorporate them into the design as well thanks for all your help :wink:
