Studio ! Just getting started.....

Hello All, First of all thanks to john for making such Forum. As suggested by john, I am building my studio. Please find design of my studio below.

Dear All, After studing so many plans of John, I have desided to go with new plan for control room.I was waisting space in earlier plan. Now I can only proceed further when "John" or other senior member will confirm the design..... I need your Suggession's. Waiting for reply

Hi Gopendra. Welcome. A control room must be symmetrical in order to work. The design in your drawing is not symmetrical. A live room does not need to be symmetrical, but a control room does. You should modify your design to get that. Try looking around the forum at some of the many control room designs here, especially John's designs, and you'll see what I mean be symmetry. You might even find a design that will fit your space perfectly, or can be easily adapted to fit it. I also suggest that you should spend some time reading the forum, to find out about the basic concepts of acoustics, and the basic concepts behind studio design, to help you get a good understanding of what you need to do to design your studio. There is a huge amount of information on this forum about how to design and build your studio right. It might take you days or weeks to read the important parts, but I can promise you that it will be well worth it! - Stuart -

Dear Stuart, Thanks for your reply. I took it after studing so many designes of john, you are very correct that it should be symmetrical but cant we solve this problem with some treatement ? b'cause I have some limitation.

It needs to be fully symmetrical at least from the front wall to the mix position. It isn't so critical to have total symmetry behind the mix position. As long as you can get it symmetrical in front of your ears, then you should be OK. There isn't really any treatment you can use to fix a non-symmetrical room: The only treatment that works, is to make it symmetrical! :) - Stuart -

Great ..........Stuart, Thank you very much, I have come up with new plan without waisting my area & time. I think now it is symetrical ..........& It will do...else you suggest ? Please find attached.

Dear Stuart, Pls suggest then I will go ahead..............

Once again thank u very much....

You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action। Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty. Thanks john ...keep it up.....

It's your belief system - not mine :) I don't have a belief system because I don't need one. Cheers john
