hello everyone, I am new to this forum but I thought I would ask you guys a question. I am looking at trying to set up a pretty decent "home studio" at my house and I would love your help. I have a very limited budget. My ideas are as follows, let me know what you think. I was going to use 3 different rooms. Each instrument will be tracking seperately. One room is a small closet where I am going to record the vocals. I was thinking I could buy enough sound absorbtion material to treat that whole room. I was also wondering If I should use any egg cartons on the walls as diffusers? The next room is the storage room where my control room was going to be. I have a very limited budget remember so I cant buy tons of sound treating material, but i can get some. I was thinking about hanging absorbtion material on the back wall behind the monitors, and a little bit in the back. On the side walls and cielings i was going to hang large blankets and a few egg cartons. is this a good way to do that part of it? And finally, I have a average sized rectangular living room where I wanted to do most of the tracking. I was thinking about maybe making walls out of blankets and absorbtion foam and egg cartons and make sort of a smaller room for the drums. I was also going to make sure that none of the "walls" are parallel and that i hung lots of absorbtion material and egg cartons in an attempt to make it more dead. Finally, i might buy a few bass traps and put them in the corners of both this room at the control room.
So what do you guys think? How can I improve on a smallll budget? how should I go about treating these rooms better? Is it a good idea to make a smaller room out fake walls, blanketsm absorbers, egg cartons and other items instruments such as drums and guitars? Any tips at all are welcomed. I am not totally new at recording but I am definatly not an expert. I cant wait to hear back from all of you. Thanks Alot.
