Hi everyone, I have a problem in regards which room to use as my home studio.
Now, the first room seems the most logical. It was my grandfathers, but he sadly passed away last August. I can remove everything from this room, and turn it into my studio. There is space for a desk, enough room to practice my instruments, and seems great. There is even a door that leads to its own toilet, so I don't have to walk far for bathroom breaks.
The big issue- one wall has a huge window that takes up most of the wall. If this wasn't there, I would start moving my stuff in there today.
Could I still get reasonable sound quality recording in there if I added some acoustic treatment?
The next room is upstairs, the only room upstairs as it is a conversion. It is around the same size as the first room, it is not square as the walls are around about 5 feet high, then curve upwards towards the ceiling of around 8 feet. There is a little alcove that dips in, changing the shape further.
This seems great, but there is one major issue- there is a full size pool table,bar billiards table, and fruit machine that I can not remove. I could just about fit a desk in there, but there is no room for me to move around when recording guitar, or to practice. It also gets extremely hot in the summer, and freezing cold in the winter, unlike downstairs. The barbilliards table is to the right and not in this image.
I'm currently recording in my living room, setting everything up when I want to record, and this is far from ideal. I need a room dedicated to my set up.
So, what would you choose? I'm hoping it is the first room, but if the window is a big issue it will have to do. I only have these two rooms I can use, the other rooms in my house are either in use, or too small.
Thanks for your help, Conan.
