My studio is in a big aluminum rectangle.
the are two small rooms built in, which have some insulation. The biggest problem with noise are these hollow doors, I'm hoping to "stumble" across some solid doors soon.
The big tracking room has nothing. no insulation what so ever. it gets plenty cold/hot in that metal box! I can't really afford to build another room in there (one day though) as is the room sounds good. I have a small wall in there to seperate the space, but just the shear amount of junk stored in the place, and the few curtains and blankets I have hanging from the cieling, make it sound not so "tinny". I'm in the middle of nowhere, no ouside noise to deal with except tractors and crickets. Right now the big problem is getting some heat in there.
The big room is roughly 20' x 40' x 14'. I use half the space. I have a small wall (8' x 8') that divides the space. I have curtains up, some blankets, sort of makes a "room". With heaters, I can help a little with the cold at night. but geez the cieling is so high, I'm not really doing anything. I had thought about constructing some moveable walls, scrounge up some 2x4's get some sheetrock and some insulation and just do it. (how to make them movable, I'm not to clear on yet ) basically I want to be able to make the room "smaller," but move the walls back to open the space back up. The question is, what about the cieling? I thought maybe I could do a drop cieling. how cool would this be?- the cieling could be raised and lowered. I'm imaging the walls coming in, the cieling coming down and fitting to make a room. then they spread out agian....
I have no budget but I could maybe make it happen.
but anyways, back to reality... I'm screwed... it's going to be a long winter...
I don't enen know if I have a question here or not...
oh yeah? any ideas? or does anyone have some magic knowledge of how to prevent heat from rising?
