John Sayers' Recording Studio Design Forum

Hey all. Im a nub here. I am starting a new recording studio in a brand new office building. My partners which do video, have assigned me 60 square mts for the studio. This are the plans I have for that space. I have 2 outer walls, planning on doing them with 2 drywall boards + fiber glass + space + fiber glass 2 drywall boards. The same is done for the room division wall.

Then have inner wood frames for the studio walls, which will be fitted with rigid fiber glass and then covered with cloth. The center wall in the control room is planned to be fake rock. And have a diffuser on the back wall. The floor is carpeted with a wooden island in the center.

The live room will have a similar treatment with the framework following the rooms shape except for the north wall, which is at a 5 degree angle. Like the control room the room will be carpeted with a wooden island in the center, and on the south west corner there is a small floating stage. I am considering fake rock for the walls on the stage area.

I did a 3D render of it with SketchUp.

Here is a post of the 3D model and a 2D picture of it.





I would appreciate any comments/ideas

Cheers

Diego

Anyone....?

Hola Diego, y bienvenido! También tenemos una sección del foro en español, si prefieres. Or you can carry on in English too. Whichever you prefer.

There is an announcement at the top of the forum about what to do to assure getting as many responses as possible. The announcement leads to this post (click here). Actually, several people, who are experts on this forum, will most likely not reply to your thread if you don't do what is written in that post. So please check over that again.

Anyway, your basic layout looks OK, so I'd suggest that you star fleshing out that model with studs and drywall, to show your isolation plans in more detail, then later on add the treatment.

One thing I would suggest, is to consider soffit-mounting your speakers: you have the space to do that.

Bienvenido, Diego. He viajado muchas veces en Guatemala, y me encanta su cultura, la gente, la paisaje. Me gustaría mucho venir otra vez.

What floor are you on? What type of isolation are you trying to achieve (in terms of dBs)? Are you in the city, on a large road, or in the suburbs?

And is that a double-wall between the two rooms?

Finally, why do you have some extra space to the right of the control room, when facing the speakers? You could expand into that space a little and still be within the Bolt area of favorable proportions.

Come to think of it: What walls here are solid, and what are treatment-based false-walls? Hard to tell what's what.

I'm not as smart as Stuart; listen to him before me. But thought I'd add my thoughts.
