A Sarcastic Statement
Hey all!
I have attached my studio plan to this thread, but here's a little preface...
Soon I will be moving from my current house (where my live room is in the basement and control room upstairs) into a larger one-room studio I am "building" in my new house's basement. While the ceiling is only 7', I am hoping I can deal with things and still get a good usable room for mixing and tracking. I have been making loads of bass traps and broadband absorbers and have a plan in mind. I also picked up a few Auralex Q fusors to help offset all the absorption I will need - mainly around the drums to keep em crispy. I tried to sort of do a modified Live End Dead End concept where the mix spot has more absorption but the drum area on the far end is a little more lively but still with adequate absorption due to potential problems with lower ceilings.
I will be building a wall to the left side of the studio to close it off and putting a steel "door in a frame" to access the studio from the rest of the basement. So other than the left wall, everything else is surrounded by outside walls - cinder block covered with pink insulation, vapor barrier and sheet rock.
Optimally, I would insulate the entire ceiling and just cover it in fabric, but that would allow too much sound to pass intpo the upstairs. So I will be filling the ceiling joists in roxul safe n sound and then covering that with sheet rock and treating the ceiling from the inside. I need to try to keep the ceiling as high as possible so here is what I've come up with. I already have all the acoustics materials in the plan, ready to hang.
How's this???
