Hi all.
Glad I found this site.
I was poking around looking for material I can use to help control the "bounce" as I call it in my new practice space.
The room is masonry and glass with hardwood floors.
I was planning on a hair and jute fiber padding with a low profile commercial carpet for the flooring.
then we will be framing the walls most likely but definetly the large factory windows and framing two of them out and installing a/c units.
This is a practice space and we record for those purposes only, when we need a demo or pro recording we go to a local studio or now down the hall in our building to another bands room where they have ghetto rigged a functional studio that has produced some very good recordings.
Anyway, I am trying to stay on a budget and do this out of pocket for our original band that doesnt work much right now and we are only looking to help control the sound a little to avoid feedback and distortion and as I said bounce.
In the past we would use carpets over carpets on the walls and floors and other fabric type materials, actualy our current room is set up that way, but I would like to take a more profesional approach if I can afford to anyway.
The room is 23 x 35 or so with 10' walls.
the ceiling is the bottom of an old hardwood factory floor.
There are 6 large windows aproximately 3 x 6' with brick walls everywhere else.
So I guess what I am asking is what materials would be best suited for what I am trying to explain my needs are for dampening and obsorbing some sound while keeping cost to a minimum?
Again I have had 4 other rooms over the years in this same building and used whatever materials we could find but this time since we have two rooms and there is no rush moving our things in I would like to do the best I can on a budget.
I read several posts in the studio building section but I didnt want to post in there for this.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice on this.
