Hey!! Hope you all can provide me with some good feedback and new ideas!!

First i just want to get started with a basic layout of walls, windows, and such. Then I'll move on to some other questions.

I guess you all could think of this room as your own, I plan on taking some suggestions and posting updates and pictures as the build moves on! I have a room in the basement that I would like to dedicate to Recording. This first image is the layout of the room with the dimension as it lays now.

I'd just like to say, the right side of the room is underground with only brick and dirt, on the other side of the left wall is where the stairs lead from upstairs, this is mainly why in all these plans I have the Control Room on the left side of the recording room. The top part of the picture is also underground, on the other side of the bottom wall, (where the doors are) there is a hallway.

Let me know what plan you like and why or feel free to copy the plain layout image and edit it in paint and leave a post with your plan and a little explination

THANKS TO ALL THAT GIVE ME SOME INPUT!!!!!
 
Try this. NO parallel walls, bass traps in the corners, broad band absorbers at first reflection points, "cloud" above the mix position, etc. Purple lines are stud walls. the yellow tuff indicates rigid fiberglass. Any questions?

what kind of window should the use, double pain, triple pain, 2 double pain? Im planning on using a camera but id also like a little window.
 
2 double pane windows angled in a V fashion would be ideal, I think.
 
Sorry, but two double pane windows = a quad leaf construction; best isolation is had with two, and ONLY two masses (glass panes) spread as wide apart as practical. With today's energy focus, finding single pane glass is a "pane in the glass" :=), but that's what you need... Steve
 
rather than trying to find single pane fixed windows fabricate a simple frame yourself and buy the glass cut to size. After all these are not exterior windows that have to stand up to weather.
 
make sure you use 2 panes of glass of differing thickness, that way the glass won't resonate at the same frequency as the other sheet of glass.
