How big could you build a shape like this, assuming that the walls are
covered in Auralex or the eqivelant, before you would start to have a
problem? BRBR


Small rooms tend to have more problems and are harder to treat than large
rooms. A larger room, if nothing else, affords you the space necessary to
build proper bass traps. Auralex and the like won't do anything to tame low
frequencies, so a round room whether covered with Auralex or not will have gobs
(the technical term) of low frequency energy reflected toward its center
center. A spectacular example of this is the globe room at the Christian
Science Monitor building in Boston. It's a globe-shaped room with a bridge
spanning the horizontal axis. At the center you can hear everything anyone in
the room is saying. It's really cool, but I wouldn't want to record or mix in
it.
