floorplan

[rightbrainnow]

hey guys...going to finish out a basement area for a studio. The floors have to have carpet, and my brother and i are looking for some wood panelling to use for the walls...to my understanding that would be better acoustically than sheetrock, correct? We dont have a lot of money to spend, so are is there any cost effective wood panelling you can suggest. What about the white lines ive indicated for bass traps and sound absorbtion...do these places seem accurate? ive also got a twin sized mattress i may put in front of the drooms on the floor going up the elevated part, or actually on top of the elevated part. Is the bass absorbtion just as important in a live room as the control room? "garbage in garbage out" is what my main concern is. I want a healthy environment for my sound to exist. all reccomendations and criticism welcome here.

I am no expert, but I STRONGLY suggest going to John Sayers design forum. You will get tons of great help. That's what I did

when you're mixing, i'd take down the drum kit if i were you.

matress wont block it... I'd sday if you have another room put it in there, or take it down when mixing.

Yeh that matress wont do anything. And you wanna take it down when mixing because the skins vibrate etc when your listening back to the music.
