Hey everyone, im in need of some advice on ventilation for a small drum booth. The booth fits a small kit very comfortably and I have it sounding great but I have only been tracking guitars in there and I fear that once I drummer gets in there he will suffocate after a couple takes (not literally, but figuratively). I have a mini split for the control room that I got oversized as to ensure it will never have to work very hard to cool the room down. I have thought about just installing some inlet/outlets with small fans to circulate the air, I have also looked into getting another small minisplit for the booth...im not convinced of either of those ideas. Any suggestions? the booth is just under 50sqft
"installing some inlet/outlets with small fans " is your best bet. Or you can leave the door open when recording drums. ;) cheers john
As John said, you can totally circulate the booth air back into your control room. But, does your control room have fresh air in/stale air out system in place to ensure you're getting fresh air into the room? Greg
Been doing some more research, and I agree with you both. The air in/out with small fans seems like my best bet. Thank you both!
