Greetings from Ireland :)
This is my first post, hence I shall loose a few words about myself. I studied masterclass piano I germany many years ago, and since 2-3 years started to become interested in electronic music, and bought some equippment such as DAW, Keyboards, etc. etc.
However, quickly a dream developed to build my own cosey recording studio.
Now, it seems, I am a step further to manifest this dream. Recently we made a downpayment on a old horsefarm that we, my Ladylove and myself wish to purchase, and so far it looks as if things work out. Chances are that we get the place within a few weeks, and then I am starting from scratch.
Besides 20 stables and the main house where we will live, there is a huge outbuilding that I wish to convert into a fine studio.
Because I will be able to reslate the roof and put new insulation in, this can be done right from the start.
Imagine a large rectangular room whereby the first floor has been taken out, so you have a somewhat high room to deal with.
Now, I know a little about studio concepts, emphazis on "little", and I wonder whether it is a reasonable idea to build a room-in-a-room, kinda floating so to speak.
I also wondered about an idea that came loosely to my mind last night, I have a very good plasterer at hand, and I was thinking, I could ask him to plaster the corners for the room "roundish", put a load of plaster on the main walls to shape them a little out of angle, and leave irregular, or regular?, structures on the wall. Something like build in diffusers, traps etc. Get my idea?
Any comments on this?
I have no plans available yet, but sure will have them soon, would it make sense to upload them and link to here, so you folks could see the room in measures etc. to have a look at and may be come up with recommendations?
The whole building shall have one large recording area and a seperate control and edit room. Recreation area, bathroom etc, would be in another building, so I can use the full size of the structure and may be able to put in a concert grand at a later stage....
Yep.... I know.... mind those doors in the early planing.... :wink:
Built in 1790
