Hi folks, Im a newbie here. Been reading through the site, and decided it was about time I got some advice...
Im building a new studio for a community project. The room is 18" by 31" with a separate room 18" by 10" suitable for a control room.
It also has a corridor that I may double up as a vocal booth.
Its a pretty large space at over 4000 foot cubed.
I do have a Degree in Sound Engineering, and worked with live sound so i understand the equipment side of studio design however I am a bit baffled by the acoustic element.
I understand the basic ie diffusers etc but bit confused as how to implement these into my space.
Its a pretty good space but structurally its a bit problematic. I dont have any surrounding buildings so keeping the sound in isnt a problem but it is on the first floor, so the floor's not concrete.
It also has 7 average size windows, three on one side, four on the other.
I have a modest budget.
Currently, I have bass traps sorted, a cloud planned for over the drums, and im considering adding diffusers to the walls behind the kit.
Personally i am a big fan of the studios of the 50s/60s and Sun is mecca to me. I would like to have to room slightly live opposed to dead feel. And i also like the rough and ready way Sun recorded, i.e the room was not technically perfect. This may be a mistake on my part, and i may be fantasising a bit, but if I could incorporate an experimental aspect to the studio by using movable gobos and blankets covering amps etc I would very much like that.
I would really appreciate any help you guys could give, Ad
