Depending on the sq footage that 80 percent comes to, you could have 1 room to 4 rooms. A typical 2 car garage can have 3 rooms. One vocal booth, control room and live room.
I believe Isolation is worth the effort. Congratulations
Lots of people here to help in developing a good home studio plan.
...thanks SoMm...we're still doing the "mortgage shuffle" but it looks good right now...I held out for floor trusses so I can have a free span room to work with...this way I can frame up any size wherever...once we sign the papers I'll sit down and start some drawings...
fonts if you are goingf to build from scratch and want a basement studio I'd make sure the following were designed into your plan.
1) at least a 10' ceiling height.
2) Bigger span steel beams and less Jackposts holding up the upper floor.
3) Simple layout of HVAC ducting preferably running against the wall...... not through the centre of the room.
...well, we're not ready yet-bankers continue to try and harangue us into an ARM...NO WAY JOSE...they just can't stand to earn 5% over 30 years, the greedy bastids...
