So, as has been the case for many of you here already, I've reached the point where it's time to move my studio out of my spare bedroom and into an outbuilding studio.
The uses of my studio include:
Here's my starting point:
http://www.summerwood.com/products/home-studios/urban-studio.html
I'm going to build one of these on my property, 10x10 size, and customize the doors/windows (I only need a front door, for example, and small windows to let in light/air.) This is by far the most cost effective option I've seen and it's very customizable, the reviews have been very good, it's all made in Canada, etc.
What I need you guys' advice on is some of the inner details, most notably I want to make it reasonably soundproof so that I don't piss anyone in my neighborhood. Anyone here have experience with Auralex Sheetblok, for example, is it as good as they say it is?
Also, do you guys have any general insights on best practices, things to avoid, etc. for this kind of project? I'm hiring a licensed contractor to do the build, but I will be involved every step of the way. I'm looking to begin the project in a couple of months.
The uses of my studio include:
- Editing/Mixing/Mastering
- Tracking Guitars, Bass, Keys, etc.
- Songwriting
