Confused and need some help.

Hi everyone. I have been looking through this site for a very long time. I think it is probably the best site out there for studio design and builds. My problem is between reading through this site the auralex site and talking to friends that have built room, I am very confused. I plan to build a room in the back half of my garage. The space I have to work with is approx. 11'x12' with 12' ceiling. We only have to build 2 walls as there are already 2 existing walls in place. I produce and remix dance music so the room will be for the whole process from programming to mixing and sometimes recording vocals,bass & percussion. My goal is to not bother my wife and neighbors while I am working. I would also like the acoustics to be tight. My family room is on the other side of the back wall and the master bedroom is right above. I do not have a very big budget so I am not sure where to start. To be totally honest I have no clue what to do at all in terms of design and products. The building process is not a problem it's just the design. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!! Anthony

Aloha and welcome to the forum! :D Congrats on your studio build! Any chance you could please:

Edit your profile to include your location. This is very important, because this is a worldwide resource, and as such, material costs and availability vary widely. For example, masonry is cheaper than gypsum in some parts of the globe, whereas it's the exact opposite in other regions.

You'll probably get more of a response by doing so and this will really come in handy two or three posts down the road. It's also part of the forum guidelines. Thanks! :wink: For more info, check out both of these links - http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7572 http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3231 Looking forward to your build!

Will do right now. Thanks!!
