hello,
i'm setting up a hobby studio in my basement....again...but this time i want to spread it out or utilize more space as needed. i drew up a map of the space that i have. my question is what spaces to use for what functions. in the past I've used the main room as a live band room and recorded in there with decent results. the problem that i seemed to have had in the past is the mixing and mastering space was not ideal. i did it in the little center room, which i used mostly as a control room. so i'm wondering if i should switch it around some and use the big room as a mixing and tracking, recording space, and the other rooms for vocals, and drums or whatever. how would you use this space if you were going to set it up? the rooms now vary i think between pretty neutral t fairly live depending on the room. there are lots of little opening and things to allow the sound to break up. i don't think that I've had issues with lots of echoes etc in the past. bass seems to be the big issue. not so much when playing or recording, but on mixing, my monitors are Event TR8, but my mixes have always tended to be bass heavy when i play out side of the mixing environment. anyways, i would appreciate any ideas and feedback.
thanks! Jason
