Ok guys I've been studying this for about a year now, read numerous books, studied John's site and now have my basement space.
This is my attempt to draw my idea for my studio. The control room design is an adaptation of the Tom Hidley non-environment room. This variation is adapted from a book by Philip Newell. The hanger and resonator system in the walls should absorb down to about 45hz. Everything lower should pass back into the space where the furnace and water heater and pumps are.
The hangers in the wall are made of particle board with 2" of rockwool on either side. I can supply details of the entire wall consruction if anyone wants it. The blue is burlap covering the hangers. The ceiling is 8' 9" tall and will have hangers made of roofing felt with rockwool on either side angled toward the front of the room. The resulting ceiling height will go from 7'6" in the front to 6'4" in the back. The front wall and floor are going to be wood.
I couldn't figure out how to put doors and windows in correctly in the program so I just made them green walls.
I haven't decided what to do with the big room yet. The way it is there probably will be some nasty modal problems, and I haven't decided how to deal with the jog caused by the stairway.
The scale on the drawing is each square = 2ft.
Any ideas, suggestions and criticisms are welcome and encouraged.
Thanks
Eric
