Hello to everyone! (especially those participating in the discussion)

I 've decided to get rid of my garage as a car box, with a roof, ad turn it into a production room.
I am not planning on recording live instruments, maybe a vocal here and there but mostly just demo material, you know a step before the real tracking and mixing would take place!
So i would like a place where i could focus on the arrangements, and all the other stuff production wise!

I do not have a billion$ to spend on high absorbed materials, microphones and FX !
But i know i will get there eventually.
SO my moto is to go slow at start and .....whatever.
I would tend to turn it into a bit of a listening room to!

First of all,
I just want to transfer my PC(Nuendo based) and my mediocre monitors from a desperate corner in the landry room to a production room to be!
Where to start?
For now, i have to work some extreme masonry. Build up the old 2-way doors, and build in a regular new one.

But then i need to know like a million things, which i dont and you do.
So please help me out.
I have a million questions.

Maybe the room size would be a good start to start our ''conversation''!
4,6m*2,6m*2,7m(height)
1-sound insolation. I would like to get some work down no matter if it's 2p.m or a.m. for that matter. I would sound proof. I know that complete isolation is more of a fairytale than a reality, money wise, but anyway,...
What would be the best way to get throuzugh cheap but still very effective.
I've read a few thousand of these threads here, but i still do not know for sure. LEtting some air space between two layers of insolation or not?
What is the best way to sound proof you room.
I do not want to disturb the neighbours!

2-quiet room. I dont think i want and woul eve nlike a dead sounding room,some of you would like to achieve. I need a good listening room, so i could hear all the frequencies, ...etc.
What's the best way? Carpets on the wall, acoustic foam(pyramids,...).

3. Angleed walls? DO i need them?

FOr now, this should be enough to get us going.

Please help me!!

I hope i can count on you!

See the article in the current (September) issue of EQ magazine that shows complete plans for a studio that fits in a garage. It's as if it was written for you specifically! :D

hey ethan. Shameless self promotion. LOL

So in US terms your room is 15 x 8' narrow for sure.

Go to this link....

and this link

The 1st in education, the 2nd is some stuff you can build for your narrow room which will work very well for you.

Depending on how far you wanna go. and of course let us not forget Ethans Traps which work well as well. :)
