Hi All,
I'm Martin from Sweden.
Finally found a great space (with good ceiling height) and now I will build my first small studio.
I can't get John's design of "Silencio" out of my head. It's so nice. Great job there John, stunning!
My budget is not big (about $8000) but I want to inspire myself with this beautiful design.
My aim is a decent mixing room. I´ve done alot of records in "untreated" spaces so anything else would be better.
For now the studio is just for me, my own projects. Mixing at moderate levels.
I only need control room + vocal booth. Is it possible to adapt the Silencio design (same angles, room ratio etc)
into my available space? See attached pictures of my space, floorplan + photos.
John wrote that the silencio space was appr 9x6m. And when I look at it, the control room + booth might fit my space
quite well?
How do I go forward with this? Should I ask John for wall ceiling angles (pay him of course if needed)?
I will build it myself. Starting around 10 januari.
Equipment: Protools HD3, NS10M+Chevin A500, Event Opal. The plan is to put the Opal's in-wall and NS10M on the "desk".
(custom self built desk similar to Silencios)
Thanks in advance and I really would appreciate your answer!
Cheers,
Martin
Small studio inspired by John's "Silencio"

Hi Martin, and welcome! :)
It looks like a good sized space, so I'd say that you should be able to adapt something like that to fit your space.Is it possible to adapt the Silencio design (same angles, room ratio etc) into my available space?
Very nice!See attached pictures of my space, floorplan + photos.
You could hire John to design the studio for you, or you could learn how to design it yourself, which will be cheaper but will take longer. Realistically, it takes about 6 months to learn the basics of acoustics and studio design well enough to be able to design a studio yourself, then another 2 to 3 months to actually design it. If you have the time, then that's a very good way of doing it, as you will end up thoroughly understanding every aspect of what you are doing. But not everyone has that much time available. The wall and ceiling angles need to be calculated properly to ensure that you do create a proper Reflection Free Zone (RFZ), which is the design concept that John used for that studio. Those angles are different for every studio, and are based om many factors. So it's not just a matter of using any angle that looks good. But you sure do have a nice space to build your studio in! I'm a bit jealous... - Stuart -How do I go forward with this? Should I ask John for wall ceiling angles (pay him of course if needed)?
