Hello all, space that I might be getting has two rooms, but they are right on top of each other. Is this a good idea. How will I be able to make this work. The first floor I wanted to use as the control room to really just do vocals and the second floor will have all the instruments. I was thinking about a floating floor on the second with insulation in between. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance
You may want to provide more info - What currently separates the two rooms? Is there an existing floor there and what's it made of? Joists - what size, span (this will determine weight to be added on top of deck)? Column supports? Is the room currently finished with existing wallboard or do you have a clean slate? Stairway up to the second room? is it within the structure or outside with a door above? Flat roof vs angle... These are all factors I see discussed here. There are many studio build examples here with multiple levels. barns, warehouses, basements... as always a clear and informative guide is rod's book - search amazon for "rod gervais"
