Okay so I want to construct a small recording studio
this is the room i am given.
I work through DAW so no mixing boards or anything...
i want to do some vocals, guitar, bass guitar, drums and mainly DAW
not all at the same time, but those are the basics.
--- *the pink object cannot move *it is a heater wired to the ground*
-dimensions: 2'x2'
--- *the light blue frames are windows
--- *the open spots are door ways
im looking to use a very low budget as most of my money is going into equip.
I dont have a problem making my own traps, diffusers, etc.
What should I do about placement of acoutsics, diffusers, slot resonators. etc.?
How many rooms should I have?
where should I place my control room/computer and monitors if one room design or multiple rooms?
thanks a lot!

You still don't say if your biggest problem is isolation (stopping sound from getting in/out of your room), or acoustic treatment (shaping the room and putting stuff on/in/under/over the walls/floor/ceiling/doors/windows in order to make the space into a usable control room, where you actually can do a decent mix and expect it to translate well).
Maybe you could start by at least defining that. Also, stuff like the height of the room, what is on the other side of each wall/floor/ceiling, materials (what each is made of right now), and your approximate budget.
People here really will help you stacks, but only if you give them enough to work with, and do a large chunk of the research yourself. This place is a goldmine of solid info on studio design and construction, acoustics, treatment, etc. So you really should dig in and learn as much as you possibly can yourself, then post your basic layout and construction ideas, and ask specific questions.
