I'm totally pumped. We've just sealed our basement floor and are planning on finishing it, complete with a studio for me!! It will be so nice to have a place to keep all my crap out without anyone nagging at me to put it away. 
Now I am just a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none kind of musician (play drums, keyboard, bass, guitar) who just does some screwing around for my own enjoyment and maybe to share a bit with some friends and musicians I've played with over the years. So, I don't need to or want to (or have clearance to
) spend much money on this. We're also planning a rather small room - about 10' by 11' or so - and just want to get the basics covered, like fairly decent soundproofing and hopefully a good layout.
Here's where I'm hoping someone can help - layout. I don't really know what the key things I should be considering are. I'm mainly going to just be recording myself, so I would like it to be easy to operate my computer while trying to record in a quiet area without computer or other noise.
My first thought is to split the room in half (yeah, it's getting real tiny now) with half for my computer stuff where I'd sit to do mixing. The problem is that when I'm recording I can't be constantly going back into the computer room to operate my computer (press Record, run into the other room, sit down, play, inevitably screw up, run into the other room to stop Recording and set up a punch point, run back, etc...
). Any ideas on how to make that work more smoothly or where I can find good resources on this kind of thing?
Thanks!!
