I'm sure I sound like a buzzkill, but really... I'd start looking for a new place to live immediately. Nothing you are going to do in there short of spending a TON of money, and pissing of your landlord (and probably getting evicted anyways) is going to make that a suitable place for you to do...

"soundproof" and "temporary" are not terms that mesh well. As mentioned above, you need mass to stop sound... and lots of it. The most practical construction solution is wood frame with sound batts and multiple layers of drywall on each side. A staggered stud design will increase the stc...

yeah, rent a practice space and forget the "booth"

the size of your room has little to do with it. If you want lower frequencies, you'll generally want a larger driver. Regardless of what size you go for, acoustically treating your room will ensure that you get the most from your speakers.

TapeOP. Its free too.

ha, no. not mad. I still have my opinion though. :D agreed.

Sounds like a good option. Non-parallel surfaces are a plus.

bigger the room you have to work with, the better. What are the room dimensions? You want to avoid square or cube shaped rooms.

Emu is the only one I'd avoid. Thats based on the fact that they're owned by Creative (the junk gamer sound cards) and my old (possibly outdated) perception that they have shit drivers.

Then don't buy any foam. :D Here's a link RealTraps - How To Set Up a Room Here's another; YouTube - How to Set Up and Treat a Listening Room

Sounds like what you're proposing would work... it just seems a bit heavy for a portable rig. The D8 and HD24 are fine- the HD24s been around forever. And if you go that route, sounds like you have it worked out as far as the config. BUT, If I were setting this up today *(as a guy that doesn't...

Right; that would be a mic cable and an audio interface. Of course, he'll probably want a stand for the mic. And a computer and software is a great medium to record to. And headphones or monitors to listen to what he's recorded would be good. So, Tysons got it right. I wouldn't bother with the...

^ Hey neighbor. What part of town are you in?

When it comes to acoustic treatment, the mixing space is much more critical than the tracking space IMO. If you want a recording that sounds like a garage, then a garage is a good place to track. Want it to sound like a church or a gymnasium, then find a church or gym. If you want to tweak and...

^This, AND the quality of product you're capable of providing. Ultimately, if you aren't to the point yet where you're able to provide a decent sounding recording, then I'd say your time is worth $zero no matter how long you work on it. The first 6 years that I spent recording other peoples...

Been using Reaper for about 3 years now. I'm on my second round of paying for it. Its pretty much the best deal you'll get on ANY part of your home studio.

haha, did you actually watch that video?!? The room "upstairs" where he said they mixed and monitored everything is covered in acoustic treatment. And on top of that he said he wanted the album to sound like he recorded it in his garage and not be 'slick'. I missed your original thread, but I'm...

Do you have any tracks armed/mics on in the space while you're monitoring? Could be a feedback loop too.

I have wireless in our house, but I don't use it for my recording machine. Never thought it would be an issue, so I'll stand corrected :). So, were you having trouble because the wireless hardware in the machine was conflicting with your audio equipment? Or was the wifi causing interference like...

I haven't used either. Good luck.
