Hello everyone.. I previously had my 4 manual Paramount theater Organ setup in a basement which has insulated ceiling tiles, plus a loop shag carpet. I removed the carpet thinking the room would be less "Flat".
Well it's still very flat and I realize it's got to be the 2x4' ceiling panels that are hung on the suspended ceiling rails.
Recently my elder mother died 11/22/14 and now I have her bedroom 12x12' upstairs which would work nicely for guests now to come over. That room has plenty of reverb with very little fabric material to absorb sounds.
So my question is: I have 8 studio Alesis speakers, plus two 350 watt Roland KC550 keyboard amp speaker cabinets. For me to get a good quality sound... which room would work better? The very "FLAT" room, or the one "WET" and "REVERBY"? Previously I only played my system via headphones as to not disturb a very ill elder mother upstairs.
Now I would like to tonally balance my system so I and others can appreciate this awesome system. I use Reaper for my VST addition of some reverb and EQ. I have 4 separate stereo amps for my 8 Alesis speakers, and the other two Roland Keyboard speakers contain their own amps. Way overkill for a very small house.
I wanted to ask those who have more audio experience than I before I rebuild my Classic Organ Works Console desk and haul the organ upstairs to a new environment. From my own previous minimalistic attempt before... the basement (cellar's) FLAT room just sounded like I was inside a box. It wasn't realistic at all unless listened to thru headphones. Now.. I'd like to utilize all my speakers to get a nice rounded full sound experience.
Previously I had as configured: Pair 1 = Main, Pair 2 = Solo, Pair 3 = Percussion tuned, Pair 4 = Percussion un-tuned, and finally the two Roland Keyboard amps = lowest actives, tympani, bass, piano etc...
I use a Motu 10 channel interface (Asio) to feed the 4 amps and 2 keyboard amps.
With such small foot space... it might be more beneficial for me to just output into a simple 2 stereo channel output and divide the speakers just for better coverage. My goal is realistic sound vs. literal chamber simulation. Any thoughts of what might work best? Thanks.. Wm. Oz.
