roguesounds, 2 June 2014Hi all, my name's Jochen and I've been looking at building a basic studio/rehearsal room in my detached one car garage. I'm primarily a guitar player/songwriter and…
roguesounds, 4 June 2014Sort of started answering some of my own questions. I've been reading through Rod's book and combing through more threads on this amazing forum. The more I read the more…
stevev, 18 June 2014Hey Jochen, good idea posting up here before you start building :D This is where you have to be really careful :!: That roof construction doesn't look like it was made…
roguesounds, 25 June 2015Wow, can't believe it's been a year already since I posted this! First and foremost, thanks Steve for you answers and suggestions!!!! Lots of things happened in the last…
stevev, 25 June 2015Hang one layer of 16mm all around (ceiling and walls) on resilient mounts with your cavity insulation between your two leaves and see what kind of transmission loss you…
roguesounds, 26 June 2015Rain noise is something I'm worried about. Still working on seeing if we can get enough strenght in the roof structure to be able to beef up between the trusses straight…
roguesounds, 17 February 2019Hey guys, so not sure if it's wise to continue on such an old post??? But anyways... so since last posting our youngest son has undergone open heart surgery, I've toured…
roguesounds, 17 February 2019Oh, and yes I realise that these base measurements are going to be moot once the laminate floor goes in. I’m posting the initial tests to see wether I’m getting correct…
roguesounds, 24 February 2019OK so hopefully this will help. It's not 100% but very close. Gives you all a better idea of the room. The ceiling is vaulted 2370mm high at the highest part. The…
Soundman2020, 24 February 2019Several comments about that: 1) Your mix position appears to be too far forward. There's good locations for it (in terms of whereabouts you have your head in the modal…
roguesounds, 24 February 2019Hi Stuart, first of all, thanks so much for your input. The desk etc. was straight off sketchup and I imported it as a bit of an indicator and didn't really place it in…
Soundman2020, 25 February 2019Ahh! That wold explain it... :) I'm sure you already know this, but the 38% "rule" is not carved in stone: it a good guideline, but you are allowed to move around a bit…
roguesounds, 27 February 2019Hey Stuart, once again thanks so much for your insights and thorough answers. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into explaining everything! yeah just a…
Soundman2020, 27 February 2019Yep! Get a desk that has everything as low down as possible, well away from the direct line between the speaker and your ears. Much better! It is possible to build your…
roguesounds, 28 February 2019Cool, let the experimentation begin!! So in regards to the rear wall. I have about 200mm clearance from the back wall to the door. So I have the bass trap in the…
Gregwor, 1 March 2019Your picture indicates you're using the HORRIBLE SketchUp FREE!! Do yourself a favor and download SketchUp Make. It's the awesome version that runs on your computer, not…
roguesounds, 1 March 2019Man, thanks so much for the heads up! The browser based version is really frustrating! I'll redo the model today hopefully. Yeah so that's the plan - frame out…
Soundman2020, 1 March 2019It also allows plug-ins, which the severely crippled browser version does not. Trying to use SketchUp without plugins is painful. The browser version also bogs down and…
roguesounds, 7 March 2019Slow progress at the moment as busy with work and gigs but I finished laying the laminate flooring tonight! Hopefully I'll be able to do some new room measurements on…
