TheCureForSin, 22 April 2015I'm moving into a new home within the next upcoming months and have been racking my brain trying to figure out exactly how I'm going to fit my equipment in the house and…
TheCureForSin, 22 April 2015I did find the answers on how to deal with the exterior garage walls. If I drywall and seal between the existing studs I think I may be more inclined to do a double stud…
RJHollins, 24 April 2015There still needs to be more details posted as you get them.... but confirming that you have a concrete floor [slab] is usually very good news. Entertaining the idea of…
TheCureForSin, 24 April 2015Oh yeah. I have found tons of good information already and seeing studio build progress definitely helps a ton with ideas. I need to get in there and get all the…
RJHollins, 24 April 2015That's one of those design ideas that SEEMS reasonable ... Problem is ... it basically creates a resonating drum head. I'll let the experts fill in the details. That is…
Soundman2020, 26 April 2015Yup. Like RJ said: that wont work, and would in fact make the situation WORSE, not better. Correctly floating a floor is an awful lot harder that most people think! And…
TheCureForSin, 26 April 2015I got in and took some quick measurements in my small amount of time there. So it's vinyl siding, particle board, then 2x4 studs. From the inner walls of the particle…
TheCureForSin, 26 April 2015Definitely some good info! I initially thought the idea was clever until I read more into it. Plus, I'd never try something out of the norm without getting feedback.…
TheCureForSin, 30 April 2015Slowly getting my ideas together, but always some more questions. I've increased the room width to 13' and going to try and keep the max length of around 20' (20' 4.5"…
Soundman2020, 29 May 2015The 38% listening position "rule" isn't a rule at all. It's just a good starting point, but it isn't written in stone. You can change it a bit if you need to, as long as…
TheCureForSin, 10 September 2015So I have started and running into some snags and would love a little help. Initially I wasn't basing the room off of any recommended ratios and feared it would end up…
xSpace, 11 September 2015Assuming you have distance between the bottom plates of the framing, yes you will have enough. As long as the insulation isn't compressed in so much that it creates a…
TheCureForSin, 11 September 2015I am really wondering how bad it would be if I extended the length. I would royally screw up the ratio, but is it fixable? I'm going to attach two pictures. One of what…
TheCureForSin, 11 September 2015Just seems like my options for lengths are pretty minimal when trying to stick with any recommended ratios. I ended up downloading a giant spreadsheet and just ran the…
TheCureForSin, 11 September 2015I will look that up. I don't believe I'm familiar with that. - is this having the drywall between the joists/studs? The ceiling is a dicey situation. In my picture…
TheCureForSin, 11 September 2015I don't have a budget set in stone. I have rough ideas, but this project has been moving slowly over time (since it's mainly myself doing the work), so I have been…
