Help in Portugal!

Hello i am new to this, so maybe you can help me out. i need to build a rehearsal room with a control room anda a relaxing area. The picture shows all the measures in meters except how tall this is. It´s about 3.5m high. I need also a very good sound insulation. The work must be done within the space shown. 7.25mx5.50mx3.50m. do your magic please!

you for real?

Yes i am for real. Thank you for your kind help, i didn´t realise that this forum was only for pros. I am sorry to bother you....

Aloha and welcome to the forum,

Thank you for your kind help, i didn´t realise that this forum was only for pros.

Actually, this forum is for the amateur, enthusiast, the professional and everyone in between. The guidelines apply to all who seek to share in the wealth of information gathered here. http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7572 Grab a cup of your favorite beverage, and take some time to familiarize yourself with the guidelines and read through a few of the threads posted (especially the stickies and reference areas). Then try posting your questions. :wink: Happy reading, Aloha 8)

Thank you very much for your kind reply. I have to say (and i´ve said). Yhat i have no experience what so ever in this area. I am an electrical engineer and a musician. I have read all the posts, and admit that i wasn´t clear about my intentions concerning the space. My band recently purchased a warehouse, were we want to rehearse and do some demo CD´s. The site is in a residential place, so we will need a good sound insulation. (need help on that matter). We are a five member band, drums, keyboards, guitars, bass and vocals. And we make a LOT of noise (relatively...). Besides these facts, i need to have a "light" control room just to to de mixes do the demos. Once again, this studio is NOT for pro use. Please tell me if there is anything else to post about the work. Thank you so very much

jbaptista, What I was trying to say is that this ain't a ask-and-deliver forum or anything like that. You need to do your homework. Read this forum, again and pay attention to them stickies. THEN read all again. After spending all your precious days skimming this forum you should have a better understanding on how to build a room to rock in. Use your newfound knowledge and start with a design, not to detailed yet, just design a room you like. Then we might comment on that untill ye room is perfect. Then we move over to the construction part of this forum and sure will help you. But you gotta do SOME work. Don't expect us to draw you the perfect room and come over and build the darn thing. Tho, it might be cozy.. I'm not gonna.

Hi! Ok! I´ve got it. I will do my research in the site. Thanks.

Hello i´ve done my readings, and i come up with this. Any ideas? Best regards

I think you've maybe forgot to add whatever it is you have come up with :D Cheers Alan

or maybe it is :wink:

Jbaptista, welcome - I'm not sure if it's a language thing, but you need to check out that link to forum rules again - each BOLD statement in the rules needs to be answered, step by step, for as many of those things you have (or can get) answers to. By doing this, it will force you to think about your project in ways you haven't yet done, and you'll start to understand what is necessary for you to be successful. Sound isolation is NO ACCIDENT, there is no "shortcut" - it must be thorougly PLANNED and constructed correctly, or it's NO GOOD. This requires a lot of planning and the understanding you'll get by reading CAREFULLY through the "stickies" and Reference sections found in each of the forums. If you are an Electrical Engineer, you know that you can't design a circuit by just grabbing a few capacitors and IC's and randomly hooking wires to them - it's no different in acoustics or the physics of sound/vibration control. Also, you appear to have NOT attached whatever drawing you intended in your last post - it's easy to do when first confronted with an entirely new "language", which acoustics definitely is. Still, we can't comment on what we can't see... So, as Kendale so eloquently put it - read, study, and familiarize yourself with the reference material we've assembled here, and it'll get easier every day - but it WILL take a while before you believe that :wink: Hang in there...
