Studio Lay Out

[OnTheBlackRock]

well in the house about to be built i have to give the plans for the studio (basic general idea of a layout I want) so this is what I've come up with so far...any suggestions? Please critique it and tell me if I'm doing anything really wierd or stupid. Also Post your plans or pics of your studio so we all can get ideas

I guess I do not really understand the logic behind the design but I have a few suggestions.

Read all of this site

http://www.saecollege.de/reference_material/index.html

Then look through all of these studios and their plans.

http://johnlsayers.com/Studio/index.htm

Then get some books by F Alton Everest ( for reference )

Then search through all of the posts on this site for details.

Then read more and more.

One last option ( go to this link and call John and pay him to do this design for you http://johnlsayers.com/Pages/Phone.htm )

Hope this helps

haha

yahh....it was their idea to do it all and get it not mine. But hey I love it and I'm not complaining! would you be complaining if someone told you they wanted to build you a studio and buy you all the gear and went ahead and did it for you? COURSE NOT unless your outta your mind. I dont really care if the gear isn't top of the line but it's the though that counts...and the fact that it's still REALLY REALLY RAD and a hell of alot better than just my little 4-track recorder and mixer and a couple mics!

I don't want to be harsh, but that lay-out proves beyong any shadow of a doubt that you have absolutely NO IDEA of studio design, ergonomics, spatial relations, and sound attenuation.
And that's ok. Not everyone can know all there is to know.
But you need to educate yourself if you're going to embark on an endevour like that.

Erase everything you've done, go to those links that rsb provided, and spend the next month reading them and trying to absorb everything you can in them.

Then get the books he spoke of. Spend another month reading those. Then go back to the sites, and re-read everything.

Then you'll have enough knowlege to know what questions to ask. Maybe.

My floor plan and construction pics can be seen here:

If you take John's bedroom layout from the SAE site, and add the live room with a small vocal booth on the side, you might get something workable out of this:

What makes you think that ???


I like his Studio, let's get John to put it up on his site !!!!!

When you're 35 years old and still living at home strung out on Oxy and cheap wine your "rents" will be on Dr. Phil wondering WTF they went wrong.............

LOL.
Don't fool yourself, he'll be running an Enron one day,

and you know it's true.

This kid is making my sides hurt from laughing.
