I’m just starting this thread to coincide with my project to turn an unfinished antique detached car garage into a proper studio. I have had home studios before, albeit without as much room (the space is 500sq ft). I am renting so building permanent structures and treatments is out of the question. I will have to stick to treatments and augmentations that can be removed once I move out.
I will post pictures of the space as soon as I am able (currently moving). So far, the sound in the space isn’t bad at all. Very reverberant, and need to cut out some outside sound, but the reverb in the space is pleasing, free of flutter echos (open ceiling with exposed beams. The room totally empty is enough to make me want to record an IR) , and has a character that I don’t dislike even untreated (though, outside sound is an issue. 100 year old structure with original windows. I can hear a bit of outside sound).
My first thoughts are to place the control station (computer workstation) in a middle of the room position to allow for the speakers to perform at their best. (Good first start?)
I’m used to bedroom studios, or at the best a single
Car garage. This is a new frontier for me. I hope there are some kind souls who might help me figure out how to turn this into a home studio that I can be proud of.
