Hi there. Allow me to welcome myself to this forum :wink: I've attached a drawing of my new studio. I know that the fundemental design probably isn't optimal, but the walls are pretty hard to move around, as it is a rented facility and they're made of concrete:) Well, a couple of new-bee studiodesigner questions: Q1: We're planning to build the ISO booth as shown on the drawing in order to a) reduce spill from the drum room to the CR + make a very dead room for voice overs. My worries are, that the drum room will be to small then? 4,3 x 2,3 meters (aprx. 14 X 7 feet) and that building the booth will cause an acoustic nightmare in there (the walls and ceiling are concrete and the ceiling rises towards the ISO booth.) Q2: Any brilliant ideas for creating some sort of "silencers" for our windows? They are about 1 X 1 meters (3,3 X 3,3 feet). They have to be removeable. What do you guys think? I should mention that we, as always, are on tight budgets. BTW thanks for a great forum. Cheers Lasso

I'd look along these lines Lasso Girstly the window corner will be playing hell with your speakers as they are setup now. A couple of false walls should fix that and the window. Applying treatment to the drum room and booth will aslo give you what you want. cheers john
