Hi guys:
Thought I would take a minute to post a few pics of my studio upgrade. My room is pretty small (about 8X15) and had some old treatment (which i took down before thinking of snapping pics), so I had a couple days between projects and thought it was time for a little renovation work.
Here is the room i was starting with - ugly yellow walls and not much vibe...
Here is the back corner which would become the vocal booth. I had to remove part of a wall as you can see (no worries...not load-bearing).
I decided to go with a silver/gray color for the top half of the walls (and the complete wall behind my monitors) that would coordinate with the charcoal color of the new acoustic treatment, plus it's a relaxing color.
I put up beadboard and trim for the bottoms of the side walls to give the room a little upscale feel, plus it livens up the sound just a bit.
Here is the finished product from the back of the room (except I hadn't tamed all the cables running behind the desk yet). I have not had a chance to recover my bass traps to match yet, but i have a charcoal colored fabric for them.
Here is the new vocal booth. I really like this. It's abotu 3.5 feet wide by 5 feet long and keeps about 90 to 95% of the noise out (my HVAC unit is right next to it, so I had to really work to get it that quiet) and it's nice and dead.
And here is the outside wall where i keep my guitars.
Not as fancy as a lot of rooms here, but just wanted to share my work, hope you dig it!
