Studio Building Time!

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Well, of course I was being a bit flippant with my explanation. My uncle is an architect so he's going to help with that for free (got lucky). However as far as the acoustics go. The thing about this is that I'll only have this place for a year or so, then I have to move cities, as agreed with my lady as the graduate school she wants to attend is about 70 miles from here. So what I'm doing won't be my ULTIMATE studio yet. And I figure within that year I will continue to research how to make a perfect studio as I run this one.

The wall does not have to be perfectly sound proof, really for me. I'm just looking for something to separate two rooms both for aesthetics and a bit of sound separation. The more, the better I suppose, but like I said, this will not be permanent, unfortunately. It's a good first building experience though.

I was lurking gear slutz and learned how to make my own bass traps and sound panels, so I think for now, in the control room, I'll put the bass traps in each corner, and the studio panels about 4 inches apart on the walls. From the looks of a lot of studios, that's what a lot of people were doing.

Ah, yeah, sounds sensible. Just make sure there won't be traffic noise and such in the studio room, it can make tracking hell

Good luck with the build dude!

Things like this.. Things like this dude.

Ok well, so maybe I shouldn't have brought up the SSL thing again, sorry. But you have to agree that the way you described your project in the first post sounded very naive and not at all like something someone who has been around this forum for a while would say. After all I expect everyone around here to know that studio foam isn't the be all end all acoustic treatment solution. That's all I was making fun of. Don't take it too seriously.

Anyway, good luck with the build and looking forward to the first pics.

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't go spending a bunch of money remodeling a place that I don't own or wasn't planning on staying for an extended period of time. If you're only going to be there a year I say don't waste your time/money/resources and wait.

Do you own the place? If not did your landlord ok building rooms? Have you considered duct work, electrical and other infrastructure?
Edit: I missed one of your other posts, but isn't this the place with the 20' ceilings? That's a really big "temporary" wall, particularly if you can't lag to the floor (I assume holes in the hardwood floors are a big no-no).
