Hey everyone! I love seeing some of your studios, wow they look AMAZING!. I want to create my own home studio in my basement but only have a limited understanding of what I need to do so. :? I am going to attach a picture of the CAD drawing of the room. I would like it to have a Live room/control room/one booth for vocals. i still need a ton of guidence on gear that i would need i.e. mixers computers lord knows what. My budget is around $10,000. I want somewhat professional quality. i dont know whats better between digital / analog stuff. So i want the whole deisgn stuff and as much help i can get from you guys. like i dont know what bass traps are or all these things. or what acoustics would be best for recording my type of music. im not in a hurry but i do want to do this once and do it right. so first off here is the CAD drawing. and heres a little thing i did in MSPaint to show basic outline of the room and my idea. please help me design this room. thanks, Mike.... tell me everything i need to know to make GREAT recordings!!! thanks!!! the room is really like 25x13 but if we dont go to that house the other dimensions would be 32x14 the CAD and drawing i posted are for the 25x13 thanks.
