I have read through several threads and heard from people that certain things (this product or that, or this technique or that) should be used when constructing a home studio.
With that said my question would be: Are there any particular things that are absolute musts or mistakes when it comes to construction, sound-proofing, treating, or furnishing a studio?
I know that sounds like the broadest question ever but I'm just looking for a few things that some people did in their space that either worked really well for them or they wish they hadn't done so that I can learn from their experiences.
(IE: a glass window was good but I should have used plexi. I should have done no window but the double pane I have is good too. I used these doors and they are excellent at keeping sound in/out. This insulation/ that insulation. So on and so forth... I think you get the idea...)
I am at the ground stages of building my studio and am in the planning process. I am researching all the details so as to get it right. My strength and my weakness is that I am a perfectionist, so I may be looking into it way too much, but from what I know about audio and recording, I doubt it.
The space I am working with is 20ft by 9ft and I can split that however I would like. I want to be able to record a broad spectrum of musicians so if there is anything particularly related to one or another that is better, those are all good things to know.
Ok I'll shut up now and let you respond, if you would ever so feel inclined.
Thanks all in advance, and enjoy the music.
