bassman, 25 July 2007Hello all.... I have been working and thinking about this design for over a year now but have become stagnant with new ideas. I am getting closer to the start of…
bassman, 25 July 2007Here comes the bla bla bla...... Studio Specs and Needs: 1. isolation for full drum kit and reasonable guitar amplifier volumes -Who doesn't want a punk band tracking…
bassman, 26 July 2007Here are some pics. Please pardon the mess, as it is our workshop and woodpile for the rehab.... One thing that is not clear, the main entrance to the building and the…
jwl, 13 August 2007Hey ashley.... glad to see greater cincy is getting another studio. :-) Can't help you much with sketchup, but I have a few thoughts to share. First, if I had a church…
bassman, 13 August 2007Thanks for the reply jwl.... The sanctuary space will most definitely be used as a recording space. :D :D I am currently setup there temporarily. Drums, omigod! The room…
bassman, 14 August 2007As always, gulfo, you make food for thought. I had tried to make the CR's opposing with their main speakers on opposite walls to minimize transmission between rooms.…
gullfo, 14 August 2007you could definitely extend the machine room to hide the pole... as well as enlarge the booths as desired - plenty of space. another option is to use of the extra space…
bassman, 15 August 2007Your designs have given me all sorts of ideas. This is exactly the help I needed. Incorporating the poles inside a CR but behind the treatment really allows for so many…
bassman, 16 August 2007OK, I've rotated the CR and tweaked the geometry but I'm running up against sqaure dimensions. I'm not sure how this will work since its not square in shape. I'm…
bassman, 17 August 2007I've been crunching away on this and have a new overall floorplan. I am compromising on the second CR symmetry to make the whole thing work. That room will have fairly…
bassman, 18 August 2007As I sit here and stare at the floorplan, I notice that the two smaller booths together are making perhaps another decent control room shape. Maybe having that be one…
John Sayers, 18 August 2007Ashley - this is an interesting problem isn't it - I do like your idea of the 8' speaker distance room. It's a nice comfortable size. I'm concerned with the ergonomics…
bassman, 18 August 2007Hi John, Thanks for taking a peek. On the last floorplan, the wall to the south (down) it pretty well open for a door anywhere. I have placed one by the left surround…
bassman, 18 August 2007Well certainly all of the HVAC problems go away with all that hallway and lounge space available to drop the ceilings and run the ductwork. Hmmmm... Food for thought. I…
bassman, 20 August 2007Your idea also has other plusses in that there are significant buffer areas between the rooms to help with TL. It seems (according to Eric D.) that my lightweight walls…
bassman, 24 August 2007I am considering floating the main CR to get enough TL so that both studios can work together on differing projects. The main CR will be mostly mixing while the second…
bassman, 26 August 2007I am guilty of having created two fairly identical threads here and on the StudioTips site. In the interest of keeping things consolidated, this thread here will be the…
bassman, 23 November 2007After dealing with the data loss, I am now back to further designing on the studio. I have been re-reading Rod's book and thinking about getting the best isolation I can…

bassman, 30 December 2007Well, after much deliberation, re-financing and just plain thinking about it.... I've got some changes. -I cannot float any floor due to unknown conditions of the…
bassman, 4 January 2008As usual, gullfo, you have a penchant for elegance! Always a new perspective from your designs. There are still a few things that would be missed in this design: 1. Post…
bassman, 4 January 2008It comes back to those jack posts. There's one right at the front of the big CR where you put it. That CR could not be expanded without moving the jack post. I still…
bassman, 7 January 2008I am concerned about maximizing the TL between the big CR and the big booth. I want to create a larger gap between their walls. Does doubling the distance (air gap)…
bassman, 16 February 2008Well, getting closer to the start of framing.... I've attached some pics of the space all kleened up... :? My question today concerns the placement of supply and return…
