Help - Best Room for Studio?
All,
My current studio is downstairs in which was suppose to be my dinning room. It has hardwood floors and 9 foot ceilings and the recordings in the room sound great. I'm in the process of adding a full drum kit and it will probably be too tight a space to keep the drums there. I could always lug them downstairs from my bonus room everytime I need them which is probably only once or twice a month. The other idea... I have a much larger bonus room upstairs - probably twice the floor space (around 20 x 20ish) but...it only has 8 ft. ceilings. My wife has agreed that if I decide we will replace the carpet in the bonus room with hardwood floors and use it has my recording room. I know that it is impossible to know until you actually hear the room but I'm looking for some advice before I spend the money and effort on the hardwood floors upstairs. From the following room descriptions which (in your personal experience) do you think would sound best for recording: Downstairs dinning room: 9 ft ceilings, around 12 x 12 adjacent to 2 story open entry way and adjacent to large living room. I record vocals in the 2 story open entry which sounds great. Problem - I can't close it off when recording/practicing and too small for permenent drum set. Upstairs bonus room: 8 ft ceilings, 20 x 20 with double doors into room (great for hauling equipment in/out) - and I can close the doors. Currently has carpeting but would replace with hardwood floors for the entire room. I realize it's a SWAG - but - Which would probably sound better? Thanks! Edit/Delete Message |

Record some stuff in each room and see which one sounds best.
