Hi all,
I've been away from this forum for some time now.
I have been so fortunate to get the opportunity to build my own little studio in my house. The reason for this is that we had to enlarge our house a bit because of the kids. So, in this case I had the chance to build a fitting room for my needs at the same time.
The control room will be around 8,3 M2, and my living room would be used as a recording space (smaller groups or solo instruments). Over the past year I've been planning it out with our contractor. My main goal was soundproofing it as good as possible from the rest of the house. This because I have small kids. After some planning with the contractor we decided to float the concrete so it is totally isolated from the rest of the house. He also suggested to build the walls separated from each other.
So, here comes the questions: Acoustic treatment and bass-traps. I don't want the room to get to "pimped" with treatment. I want it to be a calm and creative place to be in. What are my options regarding acoustic treatment?
PS: monitors are a pair of PSI Audio A17-M.
Wire in all my gear.. Patchbay (hallelujah). I got a vintage analog console that I use nearly on a daily basis. I often route my stuff trough it and into compressors, eq, effects etc. What are the best patchbays to get? the easiest to setup etc. Soundcards RME adi-8 DSmk2 and digiface etc. You get the idea.
That mixer also got some of the best preamps one may get, so I should maybe get a XLR patchbay to easy navigate to my mic inputs on demand?
I will most likely ask more question down the road.
For the ones who are interested in some picture of the building process. In that first picture (picture taken May) you could see the yellow insulation to the right where the concrete gets isolated from the rest of the building. Make sure to follow me for updates on the build
