Hi there,
I am converting my garage which is 5.7m x 2.3m, and 2.7m high into a rehearsal studio. I have already decided on the sound proofing strategy. Having done that, the floor will be covered in carpet tiles, the inner walls will be plasterboard and the ceiling bare concrete.
Should I rehearse first and check out the sound or will I definitely need to cover the interior surfaces, and what am I trying to avoid - high frequencies echoing around?
Acoustic foam is madly expensive in the UK. Carpet underlay has been suggested by some. Cheap carpet by others - some say it will work great as it is soft, others say it is ineffective and is a massive fire risk.
Any advice would be gratefully received as I am doing the studio build this weekend!
Thanks,
Andy
