Moved into our newly built house and we finally decided to put the studio in half of the 3rd car garage. The room will be used for tracking vocals and acoustic guitars, then for mixdown with monitors. Everything else will be DI or ITB. Sound isolation won't be an issue, because that part of the garage is almost not attached to the house.
I have two concerns and am looking for feedback from you guys.
1) The space will essentially be a cube, 9'x12' with 10'ceiling. I have a 10 panels of johns manville equivalent to 703; 2" thick and 2'x4'. I know bass traps in all corners will be recommended. Has anyone ever cut 703 into triangular pieces and stack them into the corners? My thoughts are to cut teh 2'x4' panels down to 1' squares, then cut those diagonally in half to make 16 triangles. Stack those up and figure out how to mount them in the corners. The stack would be 32" tall. Would this be beneficial?
2) This is Texas and air conditioning is a way of life. However, I won't have access to the house HVAC system, so I'm thinking of punching a hole in the wall and mounting a window/thru-wall unit. Has anyone done or seen this done?? My concern here is keeping it quiet. Any suggestions??
Did I leave out anything out?? Is there something else I should be thinking about??
Thanks,
