I have already dropped a pretty dime on the rest of the Room and treatment of the room... It is in my basement and built by me so I had a clean pallet to work with. I have followed the advice from people thus far and it has turned out nicely. I think I will choose to do a laminate hardwood floor...

Thank you to all the responders. I have been researching this studio for quite a while, and I am really close to my final touches. All the help I have gotten here has been much appreciated. I look forward to sharing with you all my experiences and hopefully be able to help someone else down the...

Quick question... I am wondering what the best flooring situation would be for my new studio? I have heard reflective flooring offsets the absorbent ceiling and absorbent flooring is better. So wood? Tile? Carpet? Or leave it with the concrete floor I have now? I've done my studio to "right" to...

so crazy how these threads just die... i was getting all this advice and now nothing... thanks to those along the way but i hope this gets back up i'm still a ways from starting...

Getting ready to do the framing rough in. No rock for a little while. I assume most of my treatment considerations other than filler/insulation can be faced after the frame goes up.

Hey Rick first off, I'm in Kansas City Missouri. Now for the other questions. In regards to the room, it's a piece of the basement. I can send you pics but right now there is a bunch of stuff in the way. Basically there is a 9ft length wall and a 20ft length in an "L" shape. Both concrete. The...

Rick... I've got 20ft by 9 by 8high to work with..give or take a little...obviously give would be better, but what would your suggestion be on wise use of the space I have.. New construction in unfinished basement... Thanks

I understand that there are no absolutes, and as you say there are "best practices" and 20/20 hindsights, that's what I was going for with this thread. Looking for other peoples suggestions or "hey don'ts" I really appreciate everyone chiming in. Quick thought for planning... Would...

I'm learning a lot from our friends here on HR. They have a lot of great things to say. Listen to them wisely, many of them have been doing this stuff for years. The one thing I have gathered and accepted is patience. Don't be in too big of a hurry. I know you are building a house and thats...

I will definitely keep you all posted. Thanks again and again for your suggestions and thoughts on the project. If anything pops into your minds let me know. Matt

Soundproofing definitely isn't my biggest issue. I mean I play my drum kit in the basement at all hours of the night, and I haven't had a problem yet. Thats yet, there is always potential, so I'm going to do some soundproofing, but focus more on treatment than anything. The whole basement is...

As far as power is concerned, i have clean 200 amp service. The studio itself will be on its own breaker. Also I use a furman power conditioner. The question I have about NOT splitting the room would be what about bleed from monitors? If i'm controlling and recording in the same room without...

What I'm workin with... I absolutely agree that I need to wait and get it right without wasting money that is why I am here. To fill you in on some details: It will be constructed in the basement of my home. It is unfinished at this point, but brand new. I am somewhat secluded from neighbors...

I have read through several threads and heard from people that certain things (this product or that, or this technique or that) should be used when constructing a home studio. With that said my question would be: Are there any particular things that are absolute musts or mistakes when it comes...

thanks Thanks for the suggestions, I will definately be looking into them. Much appreciation!!!
