So I live in a 1 bedroom apartment. 2 typical rectangle rooms+ a kitchen.
I have 2 options for my studio, id prefer my bedroom since I don't want the first thing people see when they walk in to be a bunch of bass traps and stuff up on the walls. Plus it would be cheaper to treat my smaller room.
The big thing about BOTH of these rooms is they have a BIG window that slides to open and is only 1 layer of glass thick. Far from sound proof. And I live downtown in a big city so there is usually noise. Not a lot, but you can always hear something, whether its cars driving by or some one coming down the alley.
Both rooms have horrible resonance when you clap as well. And although id rather use my bedroom, with the size of my bed its going to be hard to find a spot where i can directly position my monitors in the middle of the room facing the long way. But I could maybe work around that.
Anyway, long story short. 2 rectangle rooms, one bigger, one smaller. Both have horrible resonance when i clap. Both have a giant single layered glass window that slides to open next to a generally noisy alley. They are both rectangle, but I will post pics soon to give exact shapes.
also, if I go with the bedroom, how do things like dressers/other desks/etc.. affect the travel of sound? If I end up going with my bedroom, which i want too..its gonna be a PRETTY full room. It technically is rectangle..but the end shape of it is far from rectangle as far as sound refection goes.
EDIT
Just moved in so I have like no furniture hah, all I brought with me here was clothes. I flew.

the problem with the small room is that my speakers will need to be where my bed is with my back facing the closet.. and the problem with the big room is all the noise from the fridge and out in the hallway. My bedroom is definately the quieter choice, but its also more square and smaller.
