Hi!
I live in Mexico. I work at a church. They want a studio. They neglected to consult me "with time" concerning the special construction needs. I've been concentrating more on the equipment research end lately and walked into the Administrato's office and saw a meeting with the architect and some plans with rooms labeled as nothing but "offices". Did I mention that the Administrator isn't really "gung ho" about the studio? That's OK because the pastor does...and the pastor is the administrator's dad!
Anyway, I need to finish at least the outer wall research, like, TODAY!!(Ok, tommorrow)
1) What is the URL for the oft mentioned "John Sayers site"?
The space is going to be 8.5 meters by 5.5 meters (yards, more or less, right?) 6 of those meters will have about a 4 meter cieling and the other 2.5 a 2.7 meter cieling.j
NONE of these measurements includes wall space.
There will be a youth sanctuary/activity center (STOP shaking your heads!) above. A cistern (it's like a little reservoir for the church complex) will be on one end, an office on the other. THe parking lot is along one side and earth along the other.
I was thinking of A) control room in the middle facing sideways with a room on each side or more likely B) the "traditional" longways deal with control room on one end facing the recording room and then building baffles and stuff later.
THe architect was saying he figured that two brick walls with "unicell" (the styrofoam looking acoustic stuff, right?) in the middle, or just air.
I was thinking a center wall of cinder block filled with sand or earth and a brick wall on both sides of that. (emphasis on readily accesible materials, see?)The brick on the inside will then be covered with plaster kind of stuff (no, not stucco)
Questions:
THe wall between control and recording room should be the same as the outer walls?
How thick the glass (remember, "normal" kind of materials)?
2 of those glasses, of course.
Seeing as how I'm going to have 2 meters of lower cieling, should that end be the control room (will most likely have Event 20/20's or at the very least PS8) or part of the recording room?
Any other considerations for the basic wall construction?
I'm not as worried about where doors are going to be because down here, you just kind of knock out the space you want and put a door in, but I do know that I should have separate entrances to control and to recording, if possible, and I will try to get a corridor along the side of both.
Thanks for all input!
