First, Let me say thank you taking the time to reply and look at my design problem. (Glenn, I see you answered on both forums... thank you for that. I also see you live in NJ also. Kewl) Let me also say there is some great ideas here and I'm grateful for the advice. There a few things I wish...

Here' my first go, using the "Suggested" kit... & doing some interior design on the space.

Ethan, Thank you so much for replying to my post personally and for your insight which I absolutely respect. I've read many of your articles and personally prefer your approach to room acoustics as opposed to splaying all the walls (Which I feel is great waste of space. And for us w/ small...

Hello All... I have another thread floating around here about building a studio from a prefab barn, but things have changed... As it happens, we're buying a new house and the current owner is also a musician and had a rehearsal studio built out back. That's a great bonus, and saves me some...

My Next renderings will start to address those issues & acoustical treatments. All the recording gear will fit on the desk shown (Thats a real desk, by the way, it came sold in the West Elm Catalog called the "cadman workstation"" Ill be going w/ an all digital set up (See my first post) so it...

Scheme II Ok.. here is Scheme II This is More a "All In One" approach. As the space is more a rehearsal space w/ the added benefit of being able to record. There is a Vestibule to allow light into the space and control the escaping sound. I've allowed for a dedicated vocal booth & a room for...

I've been to John's site before.. I didn't know there was a forum however. Thanks for the advice.

That Glazing detail was taken from the SAE website under window/door construction. As for the ceiling, architecturally, it would be nice to get as much height in the room as possible, but form follows function, so I'll have to consider that. You specified to specific panel type for the...

What do you mean by Splayed walls? Different Angles?

Thats a very inventive use of that program... With that design, I would leave the ceiling open like in the Live Room. HVAC is still up in the air at this point. A forced air system would probably be too expensive and overkill for a space this small, and I would have to add a fuel tank of some...

I guess my thought for the vestibule was 2fold... One, it would serve what vestibules are designed for, a transition point for controlling temperature. Being the HVAC end of things is going to be another challenge, I figured this would allow a space to control the loss of heat/air. Two, further...

Longitudinal Section OK.. Here's the last section for Scheme I. Now I'm going to work on Scheme II, which will be an "All In One" Space Thanks again to everyone for their participation thus far. It come greatly appreciated.

TR... Thanks again for the input. That's the second time that advice have been given so I'm definitely going to explore "Scheme II" now which will incorporate the advice given. What is a Min Size Vocal booth you (or others) would recommend? Anybody else have advice or input on the design I...

The Golden Section The Golden Section is a set of ratios originally discovered by the ancient Greeks which can be used to design sound rooms. The ratio has the smallest dimension (often the height) the starting point; then the next longest dimension is 1.62 times that length (often the width)...
