Simple, limited resources, thorough Basement Studio design!

:D Ok here ya go, The second file is just a basic version of the control room, probable the one you want. I hope this enough pre-sketch detail for you. If you need more detail see the first file, which is the entire studio. :mrgreen:

You might also want to consider using a sliding door in this instance. You might be able to install it between the walls, but even if not you'll at least save the door swing. You'd need one that has an adequate seal of course. Just thought I'd put it out there for consideration before you commit.

Thanks BriHar for the input! :idea: Honestly, I never thought of that. Good Idea! Anybody else see a benefit to that!?! Maybe we could take a vote :D well, I think at this point we are over the rushing and cutting corners and pennies. The laws of physics don't mind none of these human fallacies, so If it means we loose out on a door we already paid for to gain considerable acoustical, functional, and aesthetic value, then this is an open option for us right now. As far as re-locating the door, I doesn't look like we can demo these walls to relocate the door at this point in our involvement with the building.

We are going to shoot for a swing door (since it was already paid for) and if it seems to be a hindrance to achieving a decent sound quality, we will possibly reconsider. I just wanted to make an important note regarding some info I found while I was reading another post http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/posting.php?mode=reply&f=1&t=15699 and found this advice from stuart as well.

Just to clarify here too: the apex of the triangle should NOT be at 38% of the room depth! Your EARS should be at 38% of the room depth, and therefore the apex of the triangle will be several inches behind your ears, and therefore also several inches behind the 38% mark.

Thanks, I am pretty sure I have been locating the mix position the same way. But, like you also have said it is not a law we have to fallow, just a guideline! I will definitely male a note of that. Thanks again soundman2020! :D

Bump Hey Stuart was hoping to see if you had a chance to revise my sketch up mentioned above. Sorry if I am impatient, but I have called off construction for the moment to make sure we implement everything thoroughly in the control room. Thanks you so much for your time as I know it is valuable! :D Hope your studio was safe from the protests in Santiago as I heard there was some unrest there a couple days ago. I have also been receiving mixed messages about "flush mounting" near-field monitors, and the research I have done has created more skepticism than faith at this point of my experience, which is next to none besides understanding most theory and fundamental concepts of physics in regards to flush mounted near-fields. Of course, when you look at many of the designs on John's page, you definitely see his support for it in his builds, which we should definitely take into consideration as he has uhhhhh experience! I would like to see more discussion about the audio "results" (e.g. frequency response graphs, mixing results comparing flush and non-flush mount (not mastered)) of flush mounted speakers. I would love to see hard data and also hands on experience with flush mounting and if anybody has more on this information that would be greatly appreciated by many, not just me.
