I'm currently in the process of building a studio in one half of our garage. It's about 18ft x 11.5ft x 7.8ft.
I've built a double wall with an air gap in between with insulation in the stud wall. This is on two of the sides. On the third wall it's brick and forth it's a sliding door which my dad and mum said we had to put in for resale value. I'll make some panels to put over the sliding door.
We've put furring channels on the ceiling with rubber pads to stop the plasterboard vibrating to upstairs. We've also put insulation in the ceiling.
I put a solid core door with a rubber seal around it and rubber at the bottom.
We are also going to make a drum platform.
Should I make it a wooden floor or carpet? That also goes for the rest of the room, should I put floorboards or carpet?
For acoustic treatment on the walls and ceilings I was thinking about putting some panels filled with fiberboard around.
Because the room is small, should I cover all the walls with these panels and make it as dead as possible or should I just cover some of the room? Should the panels be floor to ceiling?
For lights, we are putting downlights. If I put some of the acoustic panels on the ceiling how do you suggest we fit in the downlights?
Is it worth the effort to put panels on the ceiling above the drums, vocal booth and above the control area? Or won't it make a difference?
Finally just asking again should I completely cover the room with deaden materials and make it as dead as possible or should I only place a few around the room? If it's only a few where should I position it?
Sorry for the long post but I would rather make sure I'm doing it right before I build.
Thanks alot
