To concrete or to float?

Getting close to putting up the walls now, electrical is run(atleast on my half of the garage) I know there is prolly quite a few threads on concrete flooring. Concrete being as dense as my skull i would assume that reflections would be mighty, are there any good characteristics of this dense stuff? Would it be more bright? Lively? I guess i don't know or remember from the garage days. Most of what i'll be doing is mic'd/direct recording with guitar and bass. I have no problem going with concrete, been thinking and planning about what to do with the walls and stuff. Gimme some input JoeW :shock:

Before we could advise you on what kind of floor you should do, we need to know more about what your intentions are - single room, 2-room studio, loud drums at 2am with crotchety neighbors, miles from any living thing, etc - an idea of budget wouldn't hurt either... Steve

Steve, Sorry about that, thought my old posts would come into play. Pretty much a single room. 10x17x9(angled ceiling at widest points). Like i said in the previous posts, single player. Guitar/Bass,maybe some synth later on. Recording system is a PC with M-Audio 2496 or the like and a cheap Behringer mixer (cheap to start). Budget wise, as cheap as possible to start. If you look at the garage from the front you have a 3 or 4 acre park to the left and my property against it, have a neighbour behind me. But her garage is in-line with mine but her house is further away. I am good on all fronts really. The garage is split into 2 10x17x9 with the studio on the back half further from the house. I built a double wall down the middle with a 3-4" gap in between for sound-proofing. I will be aquiring quite abit of of 3" rockwool to do the sound proofing, i don't plan on having jam sessions at first, just want to push the tubes abit more on my Fender Blues Jr. 15watt power house and just to have alittle more of a quiet space.
