Hello! Interested in getting some pointers and what to look out for. Hope some of you could provide some tips.
I'm currently recording and mixing in a spare room and have decided to finish a basement in the spring to turn into my studio. I want to build the room so that it could also appeal as a living space if we ever decide to sell the house and move. The room is going to be sufficient size for what I need. Roughly 13 x 20
My concern is that the ceiling is quite low. Roughly 7 feet tall (6' 7", 6' 9" in some areas). The floor is slanted a little bit, which I was planning on correcting by laying a floor board to level it out. I would like to insulate and drywall the ceiling to help minimize the sound from travelling to the upstairs bedrooms. But the thing is it has exposed pipes going across the floor joists, which means that the ceiling would drop lower by another 3 inches or so.
My question is, what type of problems would I have mixing in such a low celing room? I realize I would have to treat it but minimal treatment would be ideal.
Any tips would be lovely.
Thanks in advance!
Kenny
