I've been thinking on and off about building a small project studio. But, with very little space to work with, it hasn't been a real possibility.
So, I looked at what I really need, and where I spend the most time when i'm in a professional studio. And, that would be the booth. Roughly 85% of the time that was spent recording was in the booth. And the 15% that was not, was for the drum track, which was in the drum booth. Now, in my studio, I use MIDI and hand percussion for my drum tracks, so space is not really an issue. What I want, and what I think most people really need, is a nice double occupant vocal booth that is completely isolated and has a nice acoustical response and feel. Something that can isolate and tame a strong bass amp, yet fit into, say a 6x8 foot print. Perhaps a larger version that can house a drum kit.
There is a nice selection of educated and innovative minds in this forum. And I really think that a detailed description of building a booth such as this will give many of the home recorders out here a tangible alternative to the significant investment of a studio construction. And the greatest benefit being, that the money and attention can be micro-focused to a single application. Rather than spreading the resources thin and getting less than admirable results.
So, if your interested, this is an excellent design task that I think would benefit a great majority of people that are interested in studio construction.
