I'm looking at a possible studio move to a room that has a cabin style wood roof that operates on the side of a house. It being on the side of the house, the roof is slanted at about a 45 degree angle going one direction, so just one slant making basically half a triangle. I'm wondering how this will affect the rooms acoustics and sonics. It's wood, so I think the wood to some degree operates as acoustic diffusion? But perhaps that wouldn't outweight the uneven distribution of reflections given its angle in one direction? Looking for some thoughts on this from anyone who would know better than I! Thanks guys.

is this for a control room or live room.
for control room, depends on size of room, ceiling height and rear wall position really.
maybe you can take advantage of the raked ceiling. rfz control rooms incorporate raking surfaces.
if the room is not big enough or dimensioned to support rfz then other room design theories may work better.
if its a live room and you have a good ceiling height amd the walls are well spaced then its a great outcome.

Control room. As far as RFZ it seems those walls are like octagons, in my condition my room is a rectangle but roof being slanted. So basically the reflections would hit as a normal even room would, apart from the uneven ceiling..

yep understood. proper rfz also requires soffit mount speakers.
point was with a raking ceiling you have one less surface to worry about if you orientate your position so the ceiling is relecting the sound behind you.
(depends on how far way the rear wall would be)
then you treat the other walls with reflection or absorption depending on needs.
have a read of rfz design. it may prompt a solution for your space.

A cloud would help deal with the asymmetry and it’s probably a good idea anyway. My CR is turned sideways in a pitched roof room so it’s not the same shape but also has that challenge to deal with.

Some poly diffusers (depending on ceiling height) and a ceiling cloud could turn it into a great sounding spot…potentially. Lots of variables l, just like any room but I’d say they there’s nothing inherently wrong with it…or at least not any more wrong than most of the rooms we use  |

Are you able to orient your listening position at the low end, with the steeper end going up behind you? (Or the other way around?) |
