Hi,
After some advice, ideally with someone with experience of doing this. The construction of my studio is nearly done. It's a small loft space in an extension to my house and I've done all I can to isolate sound coming in / going out. I'm hopeful it'll be air tight.
With that in mind, I'm conscious that I, and the musicians I'll be recording with, will need to breathe. It's a relatively small space (I can only just stand up in the middle) so there will be a maximum of three people in there at any one time.
I have a couple of books on building a home recording studio. These both assume that for ventilation there will be an air conditioning unit. I think this is because the books are written in the US where, I gather, it's pretty hot at times. I live in the UK and it's hardly ever really hot here, so air con doesn't really happen in houses here, just cars!
Has anyone done ventilation with fans? My idea is two 'baffle boxes' (one for air in, one for air out) and having an in-line extractor fan in the air-out side. This can can be in the 'old' loft so as to reduce noise from the fan coming in.
Does this sound like a decent plan? Does anyone (even better) have a recommendation for a good in-line fan that will pull through the baffles effectively but is relatively quiet?
Gratitude, in advance, for any advice.
