Design help for 5.1 audio and video editing small studio

Hello, I would like you help me to design our audio-video studio. We want mix 5.1 audio for video and editing HD video in the same place. We need a small vocal dub room also. We are thinking in this equipement: Computer: MacPro # Two 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon # 16GB (4x4GB) # Mac Pro RAID Card # 500GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s # 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s # 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s # 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s # NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB # Two 16x SuperDrives # Apple Cinema HD Display (23") Final Cut Studio Audio: Protools Digidesign 192 I/O Digidesign C|24 Digidesign Pro Tools|HD 1 core JL Cooper MCS Panner JBL LSR4326P 5.1 Monitors Video: Matrox MXO2 JVC LCD HD video Monitor DT V24L3DU 24" Panasonic PT AE2000U HD Multimedia Projector Optoma projector screen fixed-frame We already have video cameras, mics, etc. I´ve attached the floor plan in the skp file format for your help. Thank you very much in advance, and sorry for my English! Best Regards, Manuel By macmaso at 2008-09-25 By macmaso at 2008-09-25

Hi, nice space, This one is "stolen" from kendal. thanks mate. You can fill the rest of the space with a lounge/office and storage for your camera gear. Lil

Wow!! :D :D Thank you very much Lil !! Nice work !. I have a similar idea... but we are thinking to put the front audio monitors on to stands instead of the wall, because we need a big area in the wall to project on to. The vocal booth is in the perfect place, but I think is a bit small... Here you are how I´ve modified your idea. (I´m trying to puload the new skp file but is too big. Tell me if you want it to send you by mail) Thank you. Best, Manuel By macmaso at 2008-09-26

You might want to flip the sense of the door into the iso booth (so that it opens to the right, not the left), or try to move that door further apart from the control room door. Or move the control room door. Or use sliding glass doors on the CR. As it is, these doors will be banging into each other as you open and close them, and will end up knocking the door handles right off each other one day, as somebody rushes out of the iso booth in a hurry, while the CR door is half open.... It's not an acoustic issue: more of an operational issue. But believe me, it will be very annoying if you do it the way you have planned now. Your doors will end up scuffed and damaged before long. This is the voice of experience talking! Been there, done that.... :(
