Here is a model of my basement studio :p
studio2.png


12' x 14' so only 168 sq ft :o
 
In a spare bedroom as of now. Trying to build up a big enough client base to build a free standing studio somewhere. that's probably close to a year off though
 
Two live/tracking rooms (one more controlled and one with a little more brightness and openness) in basement and control room upstairs with 16 channel snake going through basement ceiling into control room. As well as a web cam fished through floor to see the people in the live/tracking room while on the computer in control room. Having it on a different level gives a great degree of sound separation without the need for excessive baffling/insulation between the two areas.
 
RecordingMaster,
I have a basement studio also, but with the control room adjasent to a live/tracking room, a somewhat separated drum room and a lounge attached to the control room. However, I like the idea of having the control room on a separate floor from the live/tracking room. Could you post some photos of your setup?
Thanks....
 
this is somewhat old..and obviously not exactly a "studio", but rather my music room so to speak..anyway, since this video from a while back, I`ve done some re arainging, and added a fair amount of stuff...
anyway, I took this video about a month and a half after a pretty bad fload..water was a solid 6 inches deep..took me forever to get it all cleaned up and dry..then I put most of my equiptment on milk crates as i was paranoid as hell about another fload....(I`ve since taken measures to avoid another fload)
at any rate..I took this video to show to a couple friends of mine on the other side of the country, that my lil`"smoke filled room in the corner" was back in action..I thought it was kinda funny...LOL
that all said..my make shift/temporary studio (if that`s what ya want to call it in it`s present state) is infact in my basement....

I'm lucky enough to have an entire back room dedicated to music. Its not very big, but it holds all my gear!
 
I chose other out of the fact that there was no simply "bedroom" option. If you'd call it a studio, it's a few feet away from my bed. :P
 
I live in a bachelor suite (1 room) in an apt for seniors and disabled people... so I divided the space and set one section ( ~60sq feet) for my gear/instruments and anything else music related... I am still gathering furniture to finish my studio setup, as it will be a multi-purpose music room, so will be recording tapes and records to HDD as well as recording my own live compositions/ideas to HDD... it will be a challenge to get this all setup and functional, and will prolly take some experimenting and re-arranging before it settles into it's happy place...
 
garden room, big windows so I have to pull the curtains across, and I record drums in a basement room
 
the spare bedroom/office space. my partner and i are both lecturers and we need a space with a desk, printer, filing cabinets etc. however, i also needed a space to record/mix so we came to a compromise; a studio space with a clean desk. so far, it's worked out well. i can't record after about 9.00pm because of the neighbours (we live in a red brick terrace) so we use it as an office in the late evenings and i use it as a studio for the rest of the time.

although i do have to sling a couple of quilts over the desk/filling cabinets to deaden the space but it sounds fine to my ears :D
 
I record in a converted attic space. Single floor house where the top floor was nothing but attic but converted into finished rooms by the previous owner. Sound bounces somewhat but recording still comes out dry.
 
Well il be using my bedroom so its not exactly a spare... but i suppose its close enough.
 
Well, I live near Atlanta but work in Orlando. I spend a couple of weeks a month in Orlando so I have a condo there. I set up a recording area in the living room. I record my guitar & bass mostly directly into the computer so I don't care how the room sounds.

The Alesis Micro series has proved to be very useful and they don't take up a lot of space. I Velcroed them together :)

The white switch in front turns on all the wall-warts. I had to build a way to pulg in 8 wall warts so I ran a cord to the table while I was at it.

I also use the Alesis Nanosynth. Small but sounds very good.
