LayDown Studio - studio plans/reconstruction

Thought I had a picture of the back side... my camera seems to be acting up. Didn't save the last pictures I took. Have to retake pictures of the rest of the SPACE. Thanks guys, C

I posted these pictures a week or so ago. Thought I'd have some kind of feedback as of now... Any BODY ???@@?@@!!! HEllo... hellooo... helloooooooooo :arrow: :shock:

ok, we see the photos... we have given you a couple of plans - one uses the existing walls and adds a booth and some treatments (mine), the other removes the existing walls and turns the place into a more effective studio overall (Kendale). you were going to speak with your partner on financing? you might want to factor in pro design services so you can get a complete set of plans to do the construction correctly. or hang out here with us and gradually learn how to do it yourself...

OH OF COURSE. I believe we will be doing it ourselves of course to save some money. We will be starting on the vocal booth soon. I posted the photos to see if there was any other insight on the plans put up before if there were any things done first and foremost. I believe the control room and the vocal booth should be tackled first, but that is just my opinion. Judging from the pictures I posted do you see anything else that should be a must? What can we do about the AC? I've see different ways of doing this, any idea on cheapest most effective way to keep sound down in the live room, other then what is up now of course? Thanks, C

if it were me, i'd tear down the existing control room walls and start fresh armed with the knowledge of proper room ratios, good isolation techniques using common construction materials, and some clever ideas to make the window based AC into something to cool the whole place and not create a lot of noise. check out Rod's book on home studio construction where he has ideas on building a "cool room" to leverage a window based AC unit to feed the rest of the space via ducts. you might not need a large "room", a box might do it instead. or maybe saving some money by doing it yourself, invest in a split unit AC and exchange unit to get serious cooling.

Where can I find a link to Rod's book. Thanks again for your help, I mean that! C

so the owner of the studio ... got into with the landlord, and so the studio is moving ... well NOT SURE YET> might go our separate ways...
