Build a Recording Studio for ZERO

Hi There, I´m starting to build a recording studio in Lisbon and need some help PLEASE. I have a farm and a big concrete garage. No Neighbours around, no streets and no Aeroplanes near by. So i believe that isolation is not a problem. i have 3m x 5,5m x 11.5m available and like to build a 1 live room (Rearseal with the band and also recording drums) a vocal booth and a control room. can any one give me some GOOD SIZES for those rooms ?? Do they all need to have the RULE (walls and Ceilings) 6 degrees diference beetwen them ?? Once i dont have problem with NEIGHBOURS can i build the wall ONLY in Bricks + AIR + wallmate + Bricks ?? What about my drawing ?? is OK ??? or need some changes ??? Cheers

Please read the (before posting read this) announcement at the top of the studio design section. Many senior members will not help you unless these details are updated/ supplied. If you read this manual, there are examples of various construction designs and explanations. http://johnlsayers.com/Recmanual/index.htm I personally like to keep this handy as reference.

What if you are recording a "once in a lifetime recording" and you pick up a sound from outside? You may not need the same levels of isolation as people in other situations but issolation is always something to consider.

i believe there is something on this in the above reference manual.

First have a look at some of the designs within that manual, notice how all the rooms are what they call "two leaf". The easiest way to look at it is something with mass, like a thick sheet of plasterboard (sheet rock). These separate leafs are supported by timber frames that a decoupled from each other. these techniques help to stop sound transmission from say your control room and tracking room. Try to incorporate this into you designs. Also the control room ideally needs to be symmetrical to give you an accurate stereo image, its pretty close but have a play with all that space you have and see if you cant improve on you design. hope this helps :)
