Hi All,
First I'd like to say that I have a home one room project studio...not looking to get into the whole idea of treating everything or having seperate rooms for recording, mixing, vocal booth etc. I just moved into a new two level loft style condo and looking for studio placement recommendations. I have two options to choose from...
-The main living area is roughly 20 ft x 20 ft, with the ceiling being two full levels above the floor....however, the loft hangs over about 10 ft of this space. It has 6 large windows on one wall and hardwood floors. I love the acoustics here when just sitting on my sofa playing guitar and singing. Love the natural reverb but not sure if that would translate well in recordings and mixing.
-The other option is the loft itself which is roughly 10'×20' and is then open to the lower level. Ceilings are only 8' and it is carpeted. When playing here the sound is a little less alive and crisp sounding but perhaps a little more 'deadness' would translate better for recording and mixing.
Which space would you choose and (if you have time to expand on your response) why?
Thanks,
