Hello musicians,
I'm planning to build a home studio soon. However, there are certain restrictions. One room appears to be the perfect place (as every other room should be used for something different).
I'm just.. really unsure about the room being a good choice.
Let me explain:
While the rooms length (3 meter) and width (2,9m) is not that special it has an opened ceiling colliding with the attic. It's height is 2,15m at it's lowest, increasing towards the mid of the attic. Now before I get into more details here is a picture of it:
Also I added some real pictures:
Side view of the room (unfortunately can't give front view for now):
View up to the attic:
Attic 2nd part:
Further explanation:
L = Length; Br=Width; H = Height.
The first drawing illustrates the room as well as the connected attic. Beams are displayed poorly in this graphic - the second clears it up.
In the second picture there is a side see-through view of the middleish wall that divides the attic into two parts. Note that the pencil line leading away is a correction of the red one as the roof changes it's incline.
I tried to keep the drawings close to the original, but they aren't perfect measurewise.
This is just to give you guys an idea to get some insights if it's worth it to put any more thoughts in this room.
I've recorded before, but I've never treated a room to fit my demands so I have no experience. Which makes this one kind of hard to tell by my own as it's a rare form - googling didn't help much.
Counting on you. Thankful for every suggestion.
Ideas: If the beams were to disturb the sound I might be able to sorta fill the whole area (to have a smaller room, therefore no upper beams).
While I can't close down the ceiling as you're supposed to get up to the attic I might be able to implement an "insertion wall" in the middle of the attic so I could still be able to make the studio area smaller. I don't know if this would be helpful, just a thought.
Kindest regards,
Zator
