Ok - I finally figured out how to convert my drawing (Home Deluxe 3D) to a .jpg file.
The measurements and angles aren't exact yet. The speakers (JBL 4311's) will be soffit mounted to control the bass. I'll probably still need bass traps in the back corners of the control room. I'm considering a sliding glass door on the vocal booth if I can get enough isolation. All walls will be resilient channel mounted sheetrock. Exterior walls are 8" thick so 6" insulation will be used. I "cut" the corners in the control room to cut down on parallel walls. The wall separating the control room from live room will be staggered stud. Of course all windows will be doubled and angled. All doors will be 36". I didn't show the actual doors because it cluttered up the drawing.
The control room ceiling will probably be a peaked suspended panel ceiling. The last thing I'll do is work on the live room ceiling. I want to hear the band practicing in there first. Then I'll determine if a ceiling has to be installed. I'll be considering a "cloud" or suspended baffles/absorbers/diffusors versus a sheetrock or suspended panel ceiling.
The control room floor will be carpeted. The live room will be painted concrete (at least for the near future). This is where I need some help. Somewhere (?) on the web I saw a live room with a painted concrete floor. The paint looked like a "swirled" black and dark maroon. I really liked the look but can't find it anywhere. I don't remember if it was from a link at this BBS or through John Sayers site. I don't really want just a solid color but I'm open to suggestions. If anyone has seen a pic of a studio with painted floor that really impressed you please let me know. The walls in that room will probably be a deep purple or maroon or who knows??? Anything but white!!
Suggestions anyone??
Oh yeah. All exterior walls are now up and the roof is 2/3 complete. I'll post pics tomorrow when they finish the roof.
