Post-frame construction (sometimes called pole frame or timber frame) is building method that is less expensive (no need for foundation - hence no basement) and often built over cement slab, usually steel roof.
See Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-frame_construction
I am considering the option of putting up a samll post-frame recording studio, but haven't found much on the topic. I want to make sure there is no inherent acoustic issues with this kind of construction before pulling the trigger.
an example of a small post-frame building: http://www.wickbuildings.com/assets/ima ... 080609.jpg
Anyone have an informed opinion on this topic?

hey there, you'll find you get a better response if you read this viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3231#p22740
The outer shell won't affect your acoustics (to a large degree), it'll affect your isolation. A steel roof will be the weak point in this construction in terms of isolation no matter what you do with the walls and floor. steveI want to make sure there is no inherent acoustic issues with this kind of construction
