Howdy folks, my name is Steele and I'd like to share my thoughts on a new studio I am remodeling. First off the dimensions of the room are 15' by 30'. The room has been insulated, dry walled, and another layer of fire rated drywall has been added. The floor is concrete that I believe is unsealed. I plan on staining this concrete for a desired finish. Possibly adding an area rug or two if needed. The walls are near 9 feet tall. There is one wall that is cement blocks which I plan on painting and adding acoustic treatment with a diffuser. This wall will be directly behind my monitors by roughly 10 feet. How I came up with this number is taking the length of the room multiplying by .38. The side walls will have treatment at the angle of first reflection. And the rear wall will have treatment with a diffuser. Sadly the ceiling is out of budget and will likely only get a cloud right above my workstation. In the future I hope to install wavy acoustic ceiling tile in a grid or glued. With these installments of paint and treatment I hope to have a semi professional sound. I do believe I will need to add more treatment panels other than stated above. I am looking for any other suggestions that will not break the bank. Bass traps will be added as needed after I run the first sound test. Thank you all for your time and I hope to learn your thoughts or advice!
Things I have not considered are the one ceiling vent for heat and a/c. Not sure how to seal it properly and still receive the needed hvac. The doors will be doubled up to create a better seal but I see this being pointless if I cannot figure a way to deal with the HVAC. Also the building is surrounded by two empty buildings for added isolation except the face and rear of the building, with an attic above. I plan on sealing the attic stairs with a semi permanent sealant.
