maybe i wasn't clear - can you provide "detailed" room measurements so we know exactly where doors, windows, fixture, etc are located? :-) perhaps a photo or two? from an indirect lighting perspective, i like glass block, build up a frame to support your front wall treatments, video monitor...

maybe host the images on another site and post the link here. also details on your isolation and acoustic requirements, detailed room measurements, and equipment will be helpful.

i'd go with version 2 and then you could still make corner treatments which can be moved when accessing the closet (or if the closet isn't needed then turn it into a LF trap.

you need to define your requirements. you're only going to get out of it what you put in. John (or myself) can design a room but if you're not committed then the money you pay for the design and the expense of poorly executing the build will be wasted. it might be that you don't have enough...

the drywall is one of the best options for price/performance. could you build the room higher? 10' would be better. also, sealing everything is important but also consider air - even musicians need to breathe... so plan on that early on. a split AC unit is fine for cooling (and/or heating if its...

it may be some more details are needed - such as room dimensions and including the doors, windows, plumbing, air, etc. plus some details on your need for day light (i'd consider a window on the inside of the bay to preserve some light. what type of isolation do you need?

you might just build window plugs and seal up the doors really well plus perhaps add some mass to them (MDF panels). then again, it may require more so perhaps 2x3 frames set in 1" from the walls with 2X 5/8" drywall. drums on a damped membrane riser, same for amps. maybe a second set of doors...

it won't work for an open space if you're trying to mix while someone is drumming. you could use gobos to block some of the sound while tracking. conversely the gobos could provide a pseudo back wall when mixing. if you have no other isolation concerns like sound leaking upstairs, then you...

it's possible to make it work. what is your situation wrt neighbors and other external noise? you might be able to get away with minimal isolation if you have the entire house to yourself and the neighbors are far enough away. what furnace noise? from the ducts or just the unit itself? maybe...

you must have connections... :spank: my order with Amazon (from Sept 22): Not yet shipped Delivery Estimate: October 15, 2010 - October 20, 2010

as noted by other folks, the sand packed tubes doesn't do any bass trapping. you might see plans for tube-based traps based on Helmholtz principles but most often those are used for targeted problem frequencies since their bandwidth is usually limited. for most people, the simplest and easiest...

not sure if you still need them or not... let me know. i can send you the sketchup file or provide another one if i know what your specs are.

i'd think about using the R19 in the ceiling and R13 in the walls. use RC to decouple 2x 5/8" drywall. Get Rod's book on home studio construction for many more details on how to really do it right. presumably your neighbors are several hundred feet away? one you have the isolation done - i'd...

ftiZ - interesting wave guides you have on each side of the listening position... some sort of new Klingon technology? ;)

i'd suggest using some very heavy drapes you can pull over the windows. if isolation is your concern, then its a whole different problem.
