Home Music Studio Building/Construction Tips

[iTzNoxy]

So what kind of rooms are in your studio? Do you have a separate vocal booth? What about rooms for the amps and drums? Do you have a bathroom? How much does all this cost?

does anyone know where you would place your acoustic foams ?

[creativeguitarstudio]

@whoahesgood ... Try to cover at least 30% + of your rooms surfaces. To trap the bass, go at the wall/ceiling "corners" and behind your main listening area. For catching mid's & highs, go at the walls/ceiling area. Shoot for control of the absorption of low & bass freq. without making the room too dead. The larger the room the more dampening you'll require. And, a lot of course depends on the rooms design. Plus, how much you want to control the low end.

how much did this project cost you andrew?

[gooney0]

Very interesting. I'd like to see more videos on this subject sometime.

[NorthernKnight1000]

Great video. How expensive was it to build your studio?

[kbkbabbie]

a good thing we're building a studio on a farm... No outside noise and no need for soundproofing. The temperature is a problem though

@kbkbabbie

ahh that's where you'd be wrong tho, you do need soundproofing no matter where you're at... the soundproofing is including: diffusors, bass traps, etc. without these things, even in a "perfect" room (which I can guarantee you do not have) the sounds will not reverberate well, frequencies will bounce off of walls unevenly giving you odd resonant sounds, and you're going to have one hell of a time mixing in a room with no soundproofing.

[kbkbabbie]

@alwaysending Yeah you're right, but I meant the soundproofing used to block sound from coming in or going out of the room. The walls are already full of diffusors. No bass traps yet. All the equipment is moved very soon to see which spots are ideal. I'll upload a video of the building process soon. (This is not my youtube account, but I'll post a link here).

@kbkbabbie

awesome man, good luck on finishing up everything! I'm building a new studio now myself (3rd build) and working on all acoustical treatments myself right now, building out our QRD Diffusors 1D's, 7 & 11 panels, going to be awesome. Look forward to seeing what you build.

Great stuff defiantly information i will need for the future thanks Andrew

[wpumba]

here's the thing... if you are gonna spend a few thousand bucks, it's always better to go with a professional, so that they can actually tell you the best way to go given your particular situation, there's a reason why there are architects or engeneers out there, most of the problems in construction comes when experienced ppl take matters into their own hands, and a really simple task can become a true nightmare, a waste of money and potencially dangerous...

You can get sheet rock double and tripled up seems to work pretty good.

They also make insulation designs to help with sound.

I have seen people go crazy and put sand in the floor.

Good air con .

Thank Andrew
