Hi
I decided to post here and hopefully enlist some help from the very begining stages of my home studio build project. in that, its not even built yet. i do however have some of the dimensions so i thought starting from scratch would be a good idea. i will be readin ghtis forum, ethan's site etc and hopefully not asking alot of dumb questions
first some info
this will be built on the second story of a garage, detached from my house, in a rural area (no real neighbors, shared driveway with the n laws). the room will be 28 feet by 24 feet. the walls will be standard 8 feet or so and i would like to keep the cathedral ceiling on a 4/12 pitch roof (if i can)
that being said, i will have steps up the outside to a door leadin in and i can place that entryway anywhere at thsi point
most of the time i just record me, one input only. however i would like to have a control room, an iso room for vocals and then a main room i could set up a drum set or group of singers etc, and a storage room.
that being said, i won't have an unlimited budget and i do not think rooms inside rooms will be an option, menaing i will have to build the rooms off the main exterior walls due to cost. i can hardwood the floors and walls or go the route of drywall on the walls. i can build rooms that are not square if that is suggested. there will be only one window at the end of the main room, no other windows.
so if this makes sense iw ould like to start from square on one this, lay out the entryway, a vocal booth, a storage room and a main room off of 28x24.
i do not have a ton of outboard gear and basically have an audio desk i work off of and one rack for gear. i will record myself in the control room.
all wiring will be done by me, walls and floors by me, and i probaby will not be able to run a seperate frunace and ac unit for this but will have to have wall mounts or something? we will see on that.
it will not be rented out or used commercially, i may record some friends
if more info is needed please let me know, if anyone has a desing that fits these room needs and dimensions that would be a great place for me to start
thanks for any help on this, i would be building in the spring, giving me a few months to plan it out and budget
thanks again
